I just made the daemon with the standard commands
make -f makefile.unix
Out of curiosity, I just tried to compile the linux qt wallet. I was able to compile on 16.04 just fine. To be honest, I did not do anything out the ordinary. I just ran
qmake
make

Here is a link that contains the qt wallet built on 16.04 and I also included the daemon. (both links are the same .tar file)

If anyone can build a windows wallet, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for the download links.
I really don't remember the errors it was 3+ months ago. I kind of remember this but it could be wrong:
The 14.04 which I admit had a lot of oddball stuff installed looked like it compiled but it would not run. Gave a bunch of errors.
The 18.04 gave a ton of cannot find this package or dependency errors.
Work was getting busy with a before lock-down rush so I never did anything more. If I have time I will spin up the VMs that I tried to do it on and see what errors I got.
Thanks again and stay safe.
