Linking error: cannot find -lGL
-
Hi,
I installed Qt 5.3.1 using the linux 64 bit online installer on Ubuntu 14.04 to my home directory. I tried to create a new project using File->New File or Project, selecting Qt Quick Application, and clicking next a few times. Then, when I try to build it using the green play button I get the following error:
@g++ -Wl,-rpath,/home/waspinator/Qt/5.3/gcc_64 -Wl,-rpath,/home/waspinator/Qt/5.3/gcc_64/lib -o qt_test main.o qrc_qml.o -L/home/waspinator/Qt/5.3/gcc_64/lib -lQt5Quick -lQt5Qml -lQt5Widgets -lQt5Network -lQt5Gui -lQt5Core -lGL -lpthread
