It’s not picking up that you have Qt 5. I have not done a whole lot of work with Qt, but they install all their binaries into /usr/lib/qt$ver/bin (at least for Qt4), and everything in /usr/bin is just a symlink to qtchooser, which then launches the correct tool and version and stuff. This looks like an upstream bug, since they should test for “moc -qt=5”, not just “moc” and/or use qtchooser to determine the available version(s) of Qt (or whatever Qt’s recommended way is).

The easiest way to deal this this right now as far as I can tell would be to disable the Qt gui and go with the wxWidgets gui. You could also build it manually.
