Hi,
yes I will look into it. My guess is it simply is an issue with Qt 5.5 and Plasma 5 that Sigil is triggering. eschwartz has set me up with a ssh account and I plan to give things a look this weekend. But right now I am stuck trying to help DiapDealer figure out why gumbo and Windows are not getting along.
I use a Linux Mint 17 build with Cinamon and all functions just fine. So it is some interaction with the Desktop that is causing the issue. It may not be Qt 5.5 directly, as other desktops with Qt 5.5 work just fine. It is just Plasma 5 that seems to be an issue.
Please tell your packager that Sigil 0.8.X branch is no longer supported (especially on clang) as it had issues with undefined behaviour with "Null" References. So we have had to rework the entire code base.
Only Sigil master should be worried about at this point and it has removed lots of dependencies and added a few others. There is a docs/Building on Linux.md that they should follow along with to get master building properly along with a number of python 3.4 site.packages that need to be in place.
Thanks for the head's up. I will let you know if I can figure anything out this weekend to help resolve the issue with Plasma 5.

ps. I looked at the Qt bugreports and even QtCreator from 5.5 will not launch on Plasma 5 but will work properly with other Desktops. Qt's response was that Plasma 5 is experimental and to refile the bug report if it still failed on Plasma 4.
So will you simply try running the Qt's official QtCreator from Qt under Plasma 5 and report back if it still fails. If so, there is little hope to get Sigil running in Plasma 5 since our gui is much more complicated.
Thanks,
KevinH
