Compiling Error: unrecognized relocation (0x2a) in section

Asked by Levi Armstrong

Hello,

I am trying to build Qt Creator 4.4.1 on trusty and I am receiving the compiler error below for amd64 and i386. I tried several things(Changing compiler and other option provide in a google search) and I have been unsuccessful at resolving this issue.

Regards,

Levi

I'm afraid we really can't help you here with arbitrary compilation issues that you happen to be encountering on our build farm. I'd suggest you start by setting up a local build environment using a tool such as sbuild, so that you can reproduce this locally and debug it interactively.

I was finally able to resolve the issue. I had to use a newer version of the linker. I added a build dependency on binutils-2.26 then pre-pended the environment variable PATH with /usr/lib/binutils-2.26/bin and everything built fine.

Can you help with this problem?
