Follow-up Comment #12, bug #48881 (project octave):

Dan

I did not write here why I built qt from source.
See the below
https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?48761

The qt-5.2.1, which is version in the ubuntu repository, seems to not enough
new to build octave-gui as mentioned in the above tracker.

I have built octave-dev using qt-5.6.1 with workaround of Makefile of octave
and gotten successful results.

To be honest, if qt is build from source, 
octave configure hopefully pickups qt without using qtchooser.

On the LTS version, some libraries become out of date with developing newer
version of applications. 
On the occasion, there are situations that one has to build libraries from
source.

I hope that octave configure takes into account such case.
