    From IRC: @phantomcircuit: @jonasschnelli, ./configure doesn't detect qt4 on my debian jessie system i had to manually specify --with-gui=qt4

    We switched to qt5 by default (#6938) and don't fall back to qt4, it seems.

    I tend to feel that this is the correct behavior. We kind of deprecated Qt4 and it might lead to graphical issues. Qt5 is the environment that allows us to compete with other GUI apps.

    IMO a manual -with-gui=qt4 in case of missing qt5 is okay because it makes user aware that they don't use the recommended dependencies.

    I agree that Qt4 is on its way out, but this was not the intention.

    I've only changed the default, not the fallback mechanism. It could be that something broke there though. I'm not really good with autotools. @theuni can you take a look?
