Wt Database Wt::Dbo


I am trying to learn Wt for a project and right now I am trying to learn database part of it.

I am stuck at the beginning. I am trying to learn it from dbo tutorials (there is a tutorial in the website http://www.webtoolkit.eu/wt/doc/tutorial/dbo/tutorial.html#_installing_tt_wt_dbo_tt) which is in the examples that comes within the Wt package (tutorial1.C)

I am using Qt compiler (5.) in ubuntu. I have build the Wt::Dbo library as it says in the website tutorial (linked above). the problem is it still gives an error which is;

cannot find lGL
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Here is the code that comes within Wt (directly copied from tutorial1.C)

Solution

  • It seems the problem occurs because of the .pro file. I am not sure how it works but the problem is gone when I replaced the pro file as I first implemented it (copy-paste from another .pro file with very little modifications and there should not be any differences between the first one the the last one).
