Operating system: Ubuntu 17.10.1  
Slicer version: latest version  
Expected behavior: build successful  
Actual behavior: build failed

I contacted you before with my problem with ubuntu 17.10 and you fixed it after I cloned your new version. I encountered this problem while building the slicer and I have no solution for it

This seems to be a common error, unrelated to Slicer. Do a Google search for solutions. For example:

You could install qtbase5-private-dev, the missing file is part of this package.

Sidenote : you can redirect error messages to a text file and copy/paste the relevant part in blockquote, rather than uploading screenshots, it’s hard to read.

Example for an error log file with timestamp :  
make -j4 2\> $HOME/tmp/slicer\_build\_$(date +%F\_%H%M%S).log
