I just need breaks, I'm glad I'm not on a deadline to deliver. I'm particularly lazy.
Qt Creator had no problem finding the compiler, and Mint and Ubuntu share common package heritage, so there shouldn't be an issue there, but I think I've built up a suite of libraries and dev-tools on my system from building and testing a lot of different software. If you want a hand in diagnosing it, let me know via PM or something! I've got time.
Also, I think I've found what I need to get it to build for 32-bit, so I'm going to try for that instead, since 64 bits doesn't do FT much good at the moment anyway.
