I am having issues compiling a claimed to be Linux compatible application on Linux Mint 18.1. The application in particular is called Lightscreen. Everything has gone smoothly besides using the make command.
Here is the command process I have done so far:
I had to first install QT 5.7 because it wouldn't work with any other version unless I used an older version of lightscreen, as I would get this result:
Project ERROR: Unknown module(s) in QT: x11extras
So I went ahead and installed QT 5.7 which is claims to support in the most recent update, and this is the output:
nicholas@LinuxNick ~/bin/lightscreen $ /home/nicholas/.Qt/5.7/gcc_64/bin/qmake
Project MESSAGE: This project is using private headers and will therefore be tied to this specific Qt module build version.
Project MESSAGE: Running this project against other versions of the Qt modules may crash at any arbitrary point.
Project MESSAGE: This is not a bug, but a result of using Qt internals. You have been warned!
nicholas@LinuxNick ~/bin/lightscreen $
Suspecting everything was fine since there was no error messages but instead general Project messages, I continued. I ran make and there were my first errors.
In file included from tools/screenshot.cpp:45:0:

Am I doing something wrong? I am kinda new to compiling stuff on linux and while I compiled quite a few programs, I still haven't gotten the hang of stuff and how things are supposed to be compiled. A step by step guide would be helpful, but it doesn't have to be one, especially if it isn't needed.
Please, help, and thanks in advance.
EDIT: I am now experiencing a different problem.
When I run make, this is the output:
