I am attempting to compile wolfmame for ubuntu 18.04 from github.
https://github.com/mahlemiut/wolfmame

I have resolved most of the dependencies.
However, I get this error:

make
GCC 7 detected
Compiling src/osd/modules/debugger/debugqt.cpp...
../../../../../src/osd/modules/debugger/debugqt.cpp:18:10: fatal error: QtWidgets/QApplication: No such file or directory
#include <QtWidgets/QApplication>

make[1]: *** [qtdbg_sdl] Error 2
makefile:1281: recipe for target 'linux_x64' failed

If someone can name the dependency or the issue it would be greatly appreciated.

My guess would be that you don't have Qt5 development libraries installed.

I'd expect at least qtbase5-dev to be needed at a minimum.

If that's not an option, then USE_QTDEBUG=0 should disable building the Qt debugger.

http://forums.marpirc.net might be a better location in the future for asking for assistance with compiling WolfMAME (at least until the WolfMAME Github has an Issues section). Fortunately, mahlemiut (WolfMAME dev) is also a MAME developer and saw this.
