Qt, Ubuntu, and pain

From: Dan Lyke

Argh. So apparently Qt's done something weird with licensing, and now
the packages in the Ubuntu repo are like 5.12 and to use 5.5 or better
you either have to download their installer or build from source?

Suuuuucks!

Trying to figure out the best path forward for my open source audio
player that uses Qt. Right now I'm trying to convince myself not to
just rewrite the damned thing as an Electron app, especially since I
need some native audio processing, but ugh.
