I have a simple program for testing the istallation of Creator, but when i compile the program,
lauch this message and can't run. i work on xubuntu

1: error: cannot find -lGL
2: ld returned 1 exit status

on screen compile output:

15:10:14: Running steps for project test3...
15:10:14: Configuration unchanged, skipping qmake step.
15:10:14: Starting: "/usr/bin/make"

Error while building/deploying project test3 (kit: Kit_lucho)

And this message is the first intent to compile, whit another kit (default) (the same simple program):

15:45:03: Running steps for project test2...

Hi,

You are missing the opengl dev files

lucho2013

Hello SGaist:
Can you tell me how to install thats files and first where find it.
I work on Xubuntu

SGaist

Did you try to search this forum a bit ?
This question as already come up several times on the forum (xubuntu is just a derivative of ubuntu)

Anyway have a look "here":http://qt-project.org/wiki/Building_Qt_5_from_Git even if you don't build Qt yourself the information is valid
