[SOLVED] Simple Application not building: Cannot find -lGL
-
I'm new to Qt and currently using the Qt Creator on Linux Mint 15. Unfortunately I'm unable to open my "Hello World" application due to the following error:
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lGL
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit statusI've checked the Build & Run options and a kit is selected. There's no error there, but I can't run the program due to this apparently missing file or library. I tried googling this question first but no luck. I've also got the gcc gnu c and g++ gnu compilers installed.
Would anybody know what I'm missing here? Thanks in advanced.

Hi and welcome to devnet,
Don't search for "cannot find -lgl" but for "cannot find lgl" the minus sign negates the following word from the search pattern.
This question has been asked on the forum many times for various linux flavor. You are missing the OpenGL development package.

Sure, although I can't find where to change it. I did a search and according to other users, it's a mod only option. Let me know and I'll be happy to change it though. I'll stay subscribed to this thread in the meantime.
