Would it possible to run LXQt on Jolla, like we have LXDE on the N900 and N9?

Would be very nice to have a desktop environment on Sailfish OS, especially now that TOHKBD is just around the corner!

LXQt is written with Qt5 and from what I figured it out, it has wayland support too.

I think it builds using cmake rather than pro files.

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:133 (find_package):
By not providing "FindQt5X11Extras.cmake" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH this project
has asked CMake to find a package configuration file provided by
"Qt5X11Extras", but CMake did not find one.

Could not find a package configuration file provided by "Qt5X11Extras" with
any of the following names:

Qt5X11ExtrasConfig.cmake
qt5x11extras-config.cmake

Add the installation prefix of "Qt5X11Extras" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set
"Qt5X11Extras_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files. If
"Qt5X11Extras" provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it
has been installed.

first roadblock. this is building on a stock xubuntu system, i would attempt to build this on my Jolla but batterys dead and I cba moving.

The real issue is and someone correct me if am wrong, if its looking for something with X11 does that mean its not wayland?

From a blogpost 18 november 2014:
Other developers are working on code cleanup and removing dependency on X11 so we can move to Wayland later
I thought that it should have been done already...?

Semms it (0.9 version) requires qt5.3
Not sure how that matters too much. But surely needs some adjustements

also attempting to compile directly on the device yoelds no results as there seems to be an issue with the cmake command and.paths
