It's like I said, I had trouble finding dependencies that matched with
the distro revisions.  By all means, try those, but I think you'll need
to find the 16.10 revisions in the distro.  Mint didn't nor openSuse,
but Kubuntu 16.10 was much better.  I think I just had to find and build
four dependencies that KMM needed.
