[solved] Build error on Linux

adso

Hi,
I am trying to test Qt in a branch of Ubuntu 12.04 based Linux distribution.
I created a blank desktop application and I get this lib error compiling:

/home/francisco/Qt5.1.1/5.1.1/gcc/bin/uic ../prueba/mainwindow.ui -o ui_mainwindow.h
g++ -c -pipe -O2 -Wall -W -D_REENTRANT -fPIE -DQT_NO_DEBUG -DQT_WIDGETS_LIB -DQT_GUI_LIB -DQT_CORE_LIB -I../Qt5.1.1/5.1.1/gcc/mkspecs/linux-g++ -I../prueba -I../Qt5.1.1/5.1.1/gcc/include -I../Qt5.1.1/5.1.1/gcc/include/QtWidgets -I../Qt5.1.1/5.1.1/gcc/include/QtGui -I../Qt5.1.1/5.1.1/gcc/include/QtCore -I. -I. -I. -o mainwindow.o ../prueba/mainwindow.cpp

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lGL
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Can anybody help me with the GL library or telll me what is wrong?
Thanks
PS: I installed many OpenGL libraries but without success

Hi and welcome to devnet,

Did you install the libgl1-mesa-dev package ?
