This error is because you are trying to build using QT5. WhippyTerm was started on QT5 (actually QT4.8) but has been moved to QT6 recently.

You need to install QT6, erase your WT.pro.user file, then do a clean and a rebuild. That should make it compile again.

I think this is the line I used to install QT6:
sudo apt install qt6-base-dev qt6-wayland-dev

You also likely need to setup your QT kits in QT creator.

Hope that helps.

Error in doc then, one of the readmes has instruction to install qt5, so I did :)

I have updated the readme.md in the project file for QT6.

The TLDR version:
sudo apt install build-essential qt6-base-dev qt6-multimedia-dev qmake6

Then use qmake6 instead of qmake (although qmake from version 5 likely will still work).
