Thanks Ethan,

I added qt5-qttools and qt5-qttools-devel packages ( which pulled in a 
total of 10 new pkgs ).

after make clean and config it built with qt.

This seems to raise a question about the automake sniffing:
1. Why does it not detect the need for these packages during config

Since I have fr language support configured in by some GUI tool, it may 
be correct that failed.
