It seems like you are using an old master which still has pairing enabled. Newest master has pairing disabled (QGC_DISABLE_PAIRING) which does not link to this libary.

SAI_RAGHAVENDRA_MUPP · October 22, 2019, 6:49am

please tell me how to use newest master or disable pairing
I recently cloned qgroundcontrol from git clone GitHub - mavlink/qgroundcontrol: Cross-platform ground control station for drones (Android, iOS, Mac OS, Linux, Windows) --recursive Thank you
