[SOLVED] How to create symlink for libs? Debian Wheezy.

I installed Qt 5.2 on Debian Wheezy with the Online Installer and I open the Qt Creator, then I created a new project and I build, but he returns this error:
@:-1: error: cannot find -lGL
:-1: error: collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status@

Must be why the libs are not linked correctly in the system, because when I install Qt 4.8 using apt-get it usually works.

Hi and welcome to devnet,

You are just missing the OpenGL development libraries

Just call
@sudo apt-get install mesa-common-dev@

and you should be good to go

Happy Coding !

Hi, I installed the mesa-common-dev and still returning the same error. :(

Then also install

sudo apt-get install libgl1-mesa-dev

eduardojsm

It worked! Thank you! :D

SGaist

You're welcome !

Since you are all setup now, please update the thread title prepending [solved] so other forum users may know a solution has been found :)

@SGaist said in [SOLVED] How to create symlink for libs? Debian Wheezy.:

sudo apt-get install mesa-common-dev

This still works. Just loaded a fresh Mint Linux, then needed to run
sudo apt update
sudo apt install build-essential
sudo apt-get install mesa-common-dev
to get it to compile. Thanks
