I am trying to compile the following github package
https://github.com/openalpr/plate_tagger
Which makes use of qt. The output of cmake is as follows,
CMAKE o/p
-- The C compiler identification is GNU 4.8.4
-- The CXX compiler identification is GNU 4.8.4
-- Check for working C compiler: /usr/bin/cc

-- Detecting CXX compiler ABI info
-- Detecting CXX compiler ABI info - done
-- Configuring done

-- Build files have been written to: /home/tonystark124/plate_tagger-master/build
When I try make, I am met with the following error :
MAKE o/p

Based on comments and suggestions, I tried to locate moc and uic associated with qt5, and I got the following output.
MOC
which moc
/usr/bin/moc
moc -v
moc 5.2.1
UIC
which uic
/usr/bin/uic
uic -v
uic 5.2.1
I raised an issue in the git, as no one else seems to have met this obstacle. Upon further search, I am inclined to conclude that am missing some installation/part of qt5. Link1 and Link2 suggest that this is to do with the qt5 and cmake too, but am not able to pinpoint the actual issue.
How do I solve this issue?
UPDATE
This is the output obtained by another person in their system. I have shown the o/p of their cmake and make, compared to mine.
