Same here. KDE NEON(20.04) Upek Eikon solo fingerprint reader. would like to make use of it. But its already starting with the dependencies like libqt4-dev which are not in the 20.04 repos ... Did you ever think about making a flatpak app? with needed libraries etc. self-contained?

I successfully build the qt5 tree on debian bullseye.

debian is different than ubuntu. Ever heard of repos or ubuntu packages? They are different than the debian variants.

I managed to make my fingerprint work with newer driver fprintd. You should try it.
