Linkage against libQt5Core

Question

I installed Qt5.4 with the online installer (working on ubuntu 14). I'm trying to compile my c++ source and link against libQt5Core but ld throw an error:

Answer 1

In my case it worked after I made 3 symbolic links. The lib was installed but I had a newer version (55) than the one expected (54).

sudo ln -s /usr/local/Qt/5.5/gcc_64/lib/libicui18n.so.54 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libicui18n.so.54
sudo ln -s /usr/local/Qt/5.5/gcc_64/lib/libicuuc.so.54 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libicuuc.so.54
sudo ln -s /usr/local/Qt/5.5/gcc_64/lib/libicudata.so.54 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libicudata.so.54

Answer 2

I get this error when I was trying to build Iris under Ubuntu. I solved it by removing CONFIG += static from the .pro file

Answer 3

I came across the same problem. but I find my way out just by this code.

export  LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/Qt/5.5/gcc_64/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Answer 4

Try to add -licuuc to the LDFLAGS of the makefile.

sudo apt-get install libicu-dev

Answer 5

I get such errors when I was trying to build my project under Debian 8 (with libicu52 from official repository) from QtCreator. I solved it by changing 'Environment' for my Qt Kit (5.8.0) to: LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/Qt/5.8/gcc_64/lib:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}.
