Hi, fail to build:

@matth Thanks, fixed.

Since the latest update I get this.

CMake Error at gui/cmake/AddDependencies.cmake:5 (find_package):
  By not providing "FindQt5LinguistTools.cmake" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH this
  project has asked CMake to find a package configuration file provided by
  "Qt5LinguistTools", but CMake did not find one.

  Could not find a package configuration file provided by "Qt5LinguistTools"
  (requested version 5.7) with any of the following names:

    Qt5LinguistToolsConfig.cmake
    qt5linguisttools-config.cmake

  Add the installation prefix of "Qt5LinguistTools" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or
  set "Qt5LinguistTools_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above
  files.  If "Qt5LinguistTools" provides a separate development package or
  SDK, be sure it has been installed.
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  gui/CMakeLists.txt:8 (include)

It seems the qt5-tools dependency that was removed is still needed. Builds fine after adding that back in.

@franck.stauffer Thanks, pushed.
