Support for arm64 on a NanoPi-M4

[AstroPi]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I have used Planetary Imager with good success on Raspberry Pi3s. I have now moved to a NanoPi-M4, running Ubuntu Mate 18.04 and tried to install the latest version of Planetary Imager using the .deb file. Installation aborts with the error Dependency not satisfiable libqt5gui5 >=5.5.0 However, installed libqt5gui5 is 5.9.5+dfsg-0ubuntu2.3

Describe the solution you'd like Make dependency satisfiable and thus allow installation of Planetary Imager to proceed

Describe alternatives you've considered Ran into problems trying to compile from source code

Additional context Add any other context or screenshots about the feature request here.

Could you also paste your compile errors?

I suspect that the problems I am having with this is mainly due to my relative lack of practice with compiling in Linux. I ascertained that all the files the compiler needs are present in the /usr directory, but maybe not in the places the compiler is looking for them. I can move step by step through the build process by substituting /usr for the subdirectory of whatever the compiler is getting stuck at next, but there doesn't seem to be an end in sight.

Sorry for my ignorance.

I've just tried compiling the current master (9e7ba7e2) under Ubuntu 18.04, on x86-64. This won't necessarily help for ARM64 distribution, but before compiling, try installing these dependencies:

sudo apt install git cmake build-essential pkg-config qt5-default qtdeclarative5-dev libboost-dev libopencv-dev libindi-dev libccfits-dev
