[aksharpatel47QT]

I am using the ubuntu 14.04 and have installed qt linux opensource 5.2 android x86 offline. I'm getting the above error when trying to build desktop applications.

The output is as below:
@/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lGL
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [application] Error 1
09:18:40: The process "/usr/bin/make" exited with code 2.

Please help.

i had similar problem of unmet dependencies.
what i did:-

(1) open ubuntu software center.

(3) searched for libcheese7 and removed it.
(4)in terminal :-
sudo apt-get autoclean && sudo apt-get purge &&
sudo apt-get update

(5)then, i installed sudo apt-get install libglu1-mesa-dev successfully.
