6 years ago configure needs to be able to find qmake. One way to do this is to put this in the PATH environmental variable. If you want to build the GUI lupdate and lrelease are also needed. Here is an example:

Using Ubuntu 16.04 I installed Qt 5.7 from the qt archive as 5.7 is no longer an official release. I also tried 5.96 later and was still unsuccessful with the same errors. During the make I receive a number of undefined references to the following:
qt_version_tag QString::resize(int, QChar) QByteArray::insert(int, int, char) QDateTime::QDateTime(QDateTime&&) QJsonArray::detach2(unsigned int) QJsonValue::toString() const
Attached is the error from the make.
