Re: [stable build from source] Ubuntu 20.04 scintilla not found

[JuanPi]

Dear all,

I am still unable to compile stable, due to configure failing to
detect Qscintiilla 2 (current hypothesis). The failing messages in
config.log are

$ grep scintilla config.log

My system has the library

$ ldconfig -p | grep scintilla
    libqscintilla2_qt5.so.15 (libc6,x86-64) => /lib/libqscintilla2_qt5.so.15
    libqscintilla2_qt5.so (libc6,x86-64) => /lib/libqscintilla2_qt5.so

I thought it could be a naming problem so I created a symbolic link
qt5scintilla2 to ibqscintilla2_qt5 but still doesn't work.
