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

Tue Sep 19 21:20:59 PDT 2017

Off memory I had a similar issue building 2.18 on Ubuntu 17.04, and it 
started up but wouldn't load PyQt or something like that. Building some 
masters on Debian 9 was more reliable, but it will still say something 
is missing on startup (osgeo or something, whatever that is).
