kiwix-build da011c1

Steps to reproduce:

On clean Fedora 34 trying to build Kiwix-desktop with the following commands:

sudo dnf install virtualenv ninja-build meson patch
wget https://github.com/kiwix/kiwix-build/archive/refs/heads/master.zip
unzip master.zip
cd kiwix-build-master
virtualenv -p python3 ./
source bin/activate
pip install .
hash -r
export SKIP_BIG_MEMORY_TEST=1
kiwix-build --target-platform native_dyn kiwix-desktop

Actual result:

build libkiwix (native_dyn):
  configure libkiwix : OK (4.6s)
  compile libkiwix : ..OK (88.3s)
  test libkiwix : OK (7.4s)
  install libkiwix : OK (0.3s)
build kiwix-desktop (native_dyn):

Stopping build due to errors

Additional details

(kiwix-build-master) [test@fedora kiwix-build-master]$ python --version
Python 3.9.7
(kiwix-build-master) [test@fedora kiwix-build-master]$ whereis qmake
qmake:
(kiwix-build-master) [test@fedora kiwix-build-master]$ which qmake
/usr/bin/which: no qmake in (/home/test/kiwix-build-master/bin:/home/test/.local/bin:/home/test/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin)

Seems there is no run time dependency to qmake, it could be installed earlier:

(kiwix-build-master) [test@fedora kiwix-build-master]$ kiwix-build --target-platform native_dyn kiwix-desktop

Proposed solution

At least, in the output above make this WARNING => FATAL (stop the process):

WARNING: qmake command not found.

Or just just install qmake-qt5 with the bunch of other packages installed after this "qmake command not found" warning (in this case, we don't need this warning at all).

PS. on Fedora 34 qmake is called 'qmake-qt5' which can be detected by kiwixbuild/buildenv.py already.
