I got a similar error, I started from scratch (like redownload everything). then it worked.

Ah...OK...please, do not use master branch of Hamlib repo but Hamlib-4.6 branch. from the perspective of an operator you won't know the difference. But there is an API difference. I handled it incorrectly in QLog.

or you can apply this patch

diff --git a/rig/drivers/HamlibRigDrv.cpp b/rig/drivers/HamlibRigDrv.cpp

 #else
 int HamlibRigDrv::addRig(const rig_caps *caps, void* data)

and use qmake parameter HAMLIBVERSION_PATCH = 1
