Sure thing! I note that I have already received one report of a successful 2.3.7 compile and install based on these steps. :-) Install basic QT5 stuff $ sudo apt install qtbase5-dev qtchooser qt5-qmake qtbase5-dev-tools Then, to avoid "unable to compile simple QT binary” error, the following: $ sudo apt install pkg-config libqt5x11extras5-dev libqt5svg5-dev libice-dev I was also missing libmagic-dev on my Dell XPS installation: $ sudo apt install libmagic-dev Finally, I ran configure with the follow spec for QTDIR: $ ./configure --with-qt-dir=/usr/share/qt5 Then it’s just a matter of: $ make $ sudo make install
