linker error with QT/QT Creator Debian linux
I installed QT (the latest stable version, I believe it's 4.5.2 or something like that) with qt creator, and everytime I try to build a project, I get: collect2: ld returned 1 exit status according to the compiler info, -lgobject-2.0 can't be found. can anyone help me out? the compiler output is as follows:

Error while building project AddressBook
When executing build step 'Make'
I bolded the parts that show up in red in QtCreator.
I've tried googling it, but all the useful results are people asking the same/similar question with no answers.
Try to install these packages(they may be named slightly different for you)
libglib2.0-dev libsm-dev libxrender-dev libfontconfig-dev libxext-dev libxext6-dbg x11proto-xext-dev libfreetype6-dev
Installing those should fix your problem.
edit: Fixed a typo and added a few more packages which you may need at some point.
