[Qt-creator] collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

[Shaun van Wyngaard (Home)]

So how do I get the POS.exe out of its running state. I have already clicked 
the stop button (red square), or the program has terminated normally.
Next time it happens, I will open up task manager to see if it is still in 
memory. Possibly it is getting created with an attribute set, but not always 
cleared?
