QtQuick 2.0 GL error

Question

I'am currently on my first QtQuick 2.0 project, but everytime I build my project, I get the following error:

cannot find -lGL

That's all. I think it is the libglib library that is missing, but I could not figure out which package I have to install to solve this problem. The QtCreator runs on my Desktop with Debian Wheezy 64bit. I do not the error when building on my Laptop running LMDE 32bit.

EDIT: Finally I could collect some more information:

It's not libglib. It's libGL. It's usually provided by mesa or by your GPU's vendor. Find which package provides libGL.so and install that one. Under Debian it should be called libgl1-mesa-dev.
