Qt multimedia: cannot find -lpulse

Question

I modified .pro:

QT += core gui multimedia multimediawidgets

And I include <QMediaPlayer> , <QVideoWidgets> in main.cpp

Then I tried to build. It gives me following errors:

cannot find -lpulse-mainloop-glib
cannot find -lpulse
collect2:error:ld returned 1 exit status

Can anyone help me? My system is Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.

Answer 1

Try sudo apt-get install libpulse-dev

Default Re: QT error /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lpulse-mainloop-glib On my Debian box that lib is in the libpulse-dev package. Do you have it installed?
