QT error: LNK1236: corrupt or invalid COFF sections

LNK1236 is a Microsoft Visual Studio linker error that indicates that there are issues with the COFF (Common Object File Format) sections in the object files being linked. COFF is a file format used for object files in many systems, including Windows.

The error message suggests that the COFF sections in one or more object files are corrupt or invalid, which can cause issues during the linking process. There are a few possible causes for this error, including:

- Issues with the object files themselves, such as corruption or incorrect formatting.
- Problems with the linker or other tools used in the build process.
- Incompatibilities between different versions of tools or libraries used in the build.

To resolve this error, you may need to:

- Check the object files for issues, such as corruption or incorrect formatting. You may need to rebuild the affected object files or use a different version of the tool that generated them.
- Verify that you are using compatible versions of all tools and libraries used in the build process. This can help avoid incompatibilities that can cause errors like LNK1236.
- Try using a different linker or build tool to see if that resolves the issue.

If you are still experiencing issues after trying these steps, you may need to seek additional help from the community or consult the documentation for the tools and libraries you are using.
