I have been out of the loop for compiling my own packages of WSPR and WSJT for a couple years now due to other family and work commitments. Now I am getting settled again and getting back to it.
Having a recent look at the WSJT home page shows me that there have been some changes since the changeover to QT4 IDE suite, now there is a fully bundled SDK, called JTSDK 2.0 which includes QT5 and other required tools and libraries, to make a standardised full development kit, available for both Windows and Linux platforms.
This is a major step forward in making it easy for Hams to be able to compile WSJT and WSPR against their own desired Linux O/S platform. I had found it very time consuming having to debug and compile over and over for each Linux O/S that I wanted to try this on and then do it all over again when I did an update to the particular Linux O/S, whether it be Debian, Fedora, Ubuntu or Centos O/S's.
Here is the link to the WSJT Development page which describes the JTSDK 1.0,

which references the replacement by JTSDK 2.0 which is here on Sourceforge site
https://sourceforge.net/projects/jtsdk/
Congratulations to Joe Taylor and the JT Development teams for the ongoing development and providing this SDK.
