cannot find -lGL (Windows)
Hi...
I'm migrating my qt 4.8 code to 5.1.1. The application will run in Linux, Windows, and Mac in some moment.
My development OS is Linux, I already migrate all the code and everything looks good, except the last build step, it gave me this error:
c:/qt/tools/mingw48_32/bin/../lib/gcc/i686-w64-mingw32/4.8.0/../../../../i686-w64-mingw32/bin/ld.exe: cannot find -lGL
collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status
Similar, or "equal" error were solved adding opengl libraries to the system, in Linux. But what I can do in Windows? Same solution? How?
The application build and all Windows (Windows 7 64) related work is by using virtual machines (VirtualBox and Fusion).
And a very important question for me right now, since qt "needs" this libraries on build, my application will have a opengl related dependency? There is a definitively way to disable this?
Right now, it scares me a lot, since previous versions of my application has no dependencies beyond qt libraries.
... and what about Mac? Same situation?
Thanks in advance

I'd suggest using a version of Qt build with ANGLE which will require directx instead.

Yes, you can rebuild Qt without OpenGL support.

Yes. QtGui now depends on OpenGL by default.
Re: cannot find -lGL (Windows)
Hi... thanks for answering.
Because other work stuff get me out of my qt project for some time... I'm back.
Right now, I get Qt build: -opengl -angle +openssl +static +release
It gets me a lot of work, since I did not find documentation to get this build. Apparently there are a lot of people out there trying to get static builds in many Qt versions with no success.
My current problem with the static build is a issue I ask here.
But now, the solution I found in that moment is not working and giving me the same error:
windres: Project_resource.rc:8: syntax error
In that moment my problem was gone inserting this information to the pro file:
VERSION = 0.000
QMAKE_TARGET_COMPANY = company
QMAKE_TARGET_PRODUCT = product
QMAKE_TARGET_DESCRIPTION = description
QMAKE_TARGET_COPYRIGHT = copyright
But now, it doesn't work.
Any idea?
Thanks in advance.
