Hi Jovid,

Here’s the [source code](https://www.gplates.org/download) that compiles with Qt5. It has been successfully compiled on Ubuntu 20.04 and 20.10. It’s essentially GPlates 2.2 for Qt5 instead of Qt4. The dependencies to install are listed in `DEPS.Linux` and the build instructions are in `BUILD.Linux`. You might get some compilation warnings when building but you can ignore those.

Regards,  
John
