I just checked the mailing list spam inbox and there are not messages
from you. So looks like something on your side.

Ok, there are two issues:

> /usr/include/qt5/QtCore/qcompilerdetection.h:562:6: error: #error Qt

It looks like your version of Qt requires C++11 support ('-std=c++11'
GCC options, '--std c++11' ODB option).


> /usr/include/qt5/QtCore/qglobal.h:1113:4: error: #error "You must build
>   your code with position independent code if Qt was built with 
>   -reduce-relocations. " "Compile your code with -fPIC (-fPIE is not 
>   enough)."

Again, Qt peculiarities. We've added this to the INSTALL file:

Note that if you are using Qt5 and building a static library, then you
may have to manually add the -fPIC C++ compiler flag to satisfy the Qt5
requirements, for example:

./configure CXXFLAGS="-fPIC -O3"
