That page is titled. "Qt5 GUI on Intel Edison" If you don't want the GUI, don't build the GUI. I don't do Galileo[1], but it looks like it runs Yocto Linux. Since that very page says "the version of Qt in the Yocto package is 5.3.2.", find that and install it. Quit fixating on the GUI. The standard ./configure && make (or qmake && make) builds the command line version. You really need to find a group with a higher concentration of Galileo/Yocto expertise than you'll find here. RJL [1] I do some Pi and C.H.I.P., where the environments tend to be debian-based, so the parlance isn't alien. It's just not a dialect I speak.
