Here is the error from make.
I've attached cmake success and make error logs.txt, CMakeError.log and CMakeOutput.log

cc1plus: all warnings being treated as errors
My guess as to what could be wrong according to the error is that
ba[i] < '\0' is 'always false' because ba (although declared as a QByteArray) is probably
an unsigned byte array, and as such a value can never be less than zero.
So that test will always be false as the error message says.
Now how to fix it is another story.
My first crack at it would be to disable that warning.
My second approach would be to correct that test (as appropriate).
