For development Qt Creator is recommended:

sudo apt -y install qtcreator

On Debian/Jessie and on Ubuntu 14.04 the package libqglviewer-dev is linked against Qt4 , BPP needs a version of libqglviewer linked against Qt5:

# this will break other apps that require the libqglviewer Debian package linked against Qt4
sudo apt remove --purge libqglviewer*
sudo apt-get install devscripts qttools5-dev-tools
apt-get source libqglviewer-dev
cd libqglviewer-2.*
QT_SELECT=qt5 qmake
make -j $(nproc)
sudo make install
