incremental linking

Hello everyone,

I'm new in Qt and doing projects I had a couple of times the error:

Quote:

---

:-1: error: LNK1123: failure during conversion to COFF: file invalid or corrupt

---

I searched on the Internet and I found that everything I need to do so the project will work is to add in my .pro the following code:

Code:

---

QMAKE_LFLAGS += /INCREMENTAL:NO

---

My question is: why do I have this error without that code and what that code means? And why is incremental linking the problem in my Qt applications?
