Linking error: QTest

[Wuzzy2]

I have problems building TBE right now. At the end of the build process, I get this:

Qt: 5.15.0
TBE version: db6fc20
OS: Arch Linux

[amarsman]

I have downloaded Qt 5.15 from qt.io and installed it on Ubuntu 20.04, I have VMs of several Linux distro's but Arch is not one of them.

After also installing gettext I got a successful build (saw also some deprecation warnings). So no linking issue with the binary version of Qt 5.15 build by the Qt Company.

TBE also started fine.
