Using a new installation of Linux Mint 20.1 on a Mac VM gcc can be seen to
be already present.

djp@LinuxMint20:~/RPCEmu/rpcemu-0.9.3$ gcc --version
gcc (Ubuntu 9.3.0-17ubuntu1~20.04) 9.3.0

In the hope that build-essential might not be essential I tried my luck.

djp@LinuxMint20:~/RPCEmu/rpcemu-0.9.3/src/qt5$ ./buildit.sh
Project ERROR: Cannot run compiler 'g++'. Output:
===================

Maybe you forgot to setup the environment?

g++ is obviously essential, and missing, so it was installed

djp@LinuxMint20:~/RPCEmu/rpcemu-0.9.3/src/qt5$ sudo apt-get install g++

RPCEmu then built.
