PROBLEMS with Linux compiled versions (master, v2.3.9, etc)

Post by Doruletz »

OK, after some study and help received here in previous posts, I was able to COMPILE Warzone 2100 from various tarballs
So far I got v2.3.9, v3.1_rc2, v3.1_rc3, v3.2.1 and MASTER from github, and they all work, but here's what's odd, to say the least...
I have multiple SSD and HDD in my main Super PC, and I also have 5 other desktop PCs (6 of them total), plus 4 laptops.
Yeah, I know, I'm crazy, but how I spent my money it's entirely my business...
I build the desktops myself from scratch, as a hobby.
I use both Linux Mint 17LTS Qiana MATE (based on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS Trusty Tahr)
and Linux Mint 18LTS Sarah MATE (based on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Xenial Xerus)

While the old v2.3.9 works fine under both Linux versions listed above, the rest seem to be very selective, namely all the 3.1 versions only work on Linux Mint 17LTS Qiana MATE, while all the 3.2 versions only work on Linux Mint 18LTS Sarah MATE.
Can somebody try to make heads or tails of this and maybe explain it to me as well in the process??

My wild guess is that it has something to do with QT4 vs QT5 ?????
