Compile error on Ubuntu 16.04

[rbreckenridge]

I'm getting this error when I run make on Ubuntu 16.04 --- any thoughts?

robb@skippy:~/src/lpd8-editor$ sudo make

Hi Robb, and thanks for giving lpd8-editor a go.
First, you should probably not try to compile as root with sudo, there is no point really to do so.
Second, lpd8-editor is developed on qt5. It seems like you try to compile against qt4. You should try to install qt5 (on my Kubuntu 17.04, the package is called qt5-default), then run the updated version of qmake before make.

Aw yeah. (I'm logged in as "robb", not "root".)

I was totally missing a few dependencies, got it working and life's groovy.

Thanks, this is a great app.
