Could not find a package configuration file provided by "Qt5X11Extras" ...
@MarkBergman-cbica: could you try to install X11? Or does Fedora 28 not support X11 windowing?

qt5-qtx11extras is installed... but qt5-qtx11extras-devel was not. Fixed.

X11 exists (and is installed and in-use) but is deprecated in favor of Wayland.
This won't be a quick change, but some [bleeding edge] distros are already using Wayland by default.
For CaPTk, there are runtime & compile-time considerations.

We are not doing any customization for X11. The only place it is mentioned is in CMake [ref]. This will be non-trivial. Do you how many LTS distros have switched to Wayland by default?
Very non-trivial. Nothing to do immediately, just a long-term consideration.
