Hey Kyle,

The last update I recall seeing from Fred G. is that the master branch
is known to compile, but all bets are off in actually getting it running.

Unless you *need* QT4 or some other feature of the master branch, I'd
recommend checking out the "stable" branch (which more or less
represents the 2.15.1 release).
