Yes, you should look at "config.log", as Pantxo said.  Additionally,
checking on a CentOS 7 machine, I think the qscintilla available from
EPEL is built against qt4 only.  As you are building using "--with-qt=5"
you need to install an appropriate RPM or compile qscintilla from
source.  Quick and dirty, maybe some Fedora package will do:

  http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=qscintilla-qt5
  https://pkgs.org/download/qscintilla-qt5

or use the source
