Need assistance to build knotter for Fedora

[Luya Tshimbalanga]

Following the request from Design team, I struggle to package Knotter
for review due to failure related to Qt5.

https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=21287726

As I am not familiar with Qt5. Can someone help to fix the error please.
I attached the spec file for view. Knotter website is on
http://knotter.mattbas.org/

Careful here. The source code in the git repo is 4-5 years old.
The compiler errors look much more like outdated C++ that will require
porting to GCC 7 in possibly many places. That can be non-trivial or
a lot of work. Have upstream developers been contacted about it yet?

There are various error messages about missing files. The project uses git submodules,
make sure you provide them as well.

Hello,

I've been able to compile from the github repo installing
qt5-qttools-static-5.7.1-5.fc26.x86_64
and making few changes to the code as in the attached patch.

Cheers,
Franco
