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

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 2

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
