Yes, I had this problem too. With lots of patience, I managed to build 
FreeCAD, but with many features disabled.

At some time, one of FreeCAD’s own appimages worked. Maybe you could look for 
some of these appimages, and one of them works on your system. In my case, the 
appimage was apparently for Qt 5.9, but for an unknown reason it mostly worked 
on my Qt 5.12.
