Cannot compile project - error: incomplete type ‘std::atomic<bool>‘

[suhrmann]

Hello. I'd really like to give this promising project a try, but I can't build it.

I'm following the guidelines on HeadUnit Desktop

There you say at "Build headunit":

Clone this repo

Here I get the first error error: unknown switch `j' trying to use

git clone --recursive --depth 1 -j6 https://github.com/viktorgino/headunit-desktop.git && cd headunit-desktop

I solved this by simply removing the -j6 from git clone-command

And compile headunit-dekstop

When I try to compile the project, using the command qmake && make -j4 sub-app-pro it fails, giving me these errors (twice): I copied the whole log to pastebin

I'm using Ubuntu 16.04 LTS 64 Bit (in an VM) and GNU Make 4.1 built for x86_64-pc-linux-gnu and the chapters Install Qt, Install the prerequisites for building and running headunit and Build and install QtGstreamer worked without problems.
