wrong reason

        This is due to the qtbase/src/corelib/thread/qmutex.cppfollowing code in the source file :

#ifdef QT_LINUX_FUTEX
#  include "qmutex_linux.cpp"
#elif defined(Q_OS_MAC)
#  include "qmutex_mac.cpp"
#elif defined(Q_OS_WIN)
#  include "qmutex_win.cpp"
#else
#  include "qmutex_unix.cpp"
#endif

        This is to be compatible with code from different platforms. But the qtbase/src/corelib/thread/thread.prifollowing code is also included in the project file :

SOURCES += \
   thread/qatomic.cpp \
   thread/qmutex.cpp \
   thread/qreadwritelock.cpp \
   thread/qsemaphore.cpp \
   thread/qthreadpool.cpp \
   thread/qthreadstorage.cpp

win32 {
    SOURCES += \
        thread/qmutex_win.cpp \
        thread/qwaitcondition_win.cpp
} else {
    darwin {
        SOURCES += thread/qmutex_mac.cpp
    } else: linux {
        SOURCES += thread/qmutex_linux.cpp
    } else {
        SOURCES += thread/qmutex_unix.cpp
    }
    SOURCES += thread/qwaitcondition_unix.cpp
}

        These two places qmutex_linux.cppincluded files repeatedly, so it caused the same symbol in both files during compilation.

Solution

        You can delete references to the qtbase/src/corelib/thread/thread.prifile, SOURCESfor qmutex_linux.cppexample:

SOURCES += \
   thread/qatomic.cpp \
   thread/qmutex.cpp \
   thread/qreadwritelock.cpp \
   thread/qsemaphore.cpp \
   thread/qthreadpool.cpp \
   thread/qthreadstorage.cpp

win32 {
    SOURCES += \
    	thread/qmutex_win.cpp \    			/* 手动删除本行 */
        thread/qwaitcondition_win.cpp
} else {
    darwin {
        SOURCES += thread/qmutex_mac.cpp	/* 手动删除本行 */
    } else: linux {
        SOURCES += thread/qmutex_linux.cpp	/* 手动删除本行 */
    } else {
        SOURCES += thread/qmutex_unix.cpp	/* 手动删除本行 */
    }
    SOURCES += thread/qwaitcondition_unix.cpp
}
