[Qgis-user] Building QGIS >= 2.18.12 on Linux Mint 18.2 Sonya - with Oracle provider?

[Patrick Dunford]

My counsel is build to one of the supported platforms (Debian or 
[a]Ubuntu), not derivatives. This can be done easily in a virtual machine.

There are some xenial-specific issues in general which are not there if 
using a later release.

None of these comments may be relevant to your particular situation. 
What is most relevant is that only a small number of distros are 
supported and Debian/Ubuntu are the most supported.
