So far everything else I need works on this laptop.  This is the one thing that will make the device useable for my work, so am keen to get it going.  But I have not been able to successfully make the package compile, because it needs QT5.12 and inotify.

I think I have installed every library to do with inotify, but have not yet tried to install QT5.12, as the installation looks to be very hardware-specific.

Has anyone successfully compiled QT5.12 and ownCloud, and if so would you mind stepping me through the process?

I noticed Debian 10 uses 2.5.1, have you tried installing this?

I am, however terrifically impressed with ayufan, Mr.Fixit, and anyone else who has been working the default Debian/Mate so good!

https://packages.debian.org/buster/nextcloud-desktop

For debian 9 (the default install in pinebook pro), just make sure the backports are added to the repositories.

These were recently added to the repositories, as app-images were the interim solution, and I just changed recently. I'll post how to do this in a sec -- have to run for lunch and meetings!
