Not being able to build emergent

Question

I need to run this software as part of my CS course but I have no idea how to proceed further with this build. emergent: https://github.com/emer/cemer I run Arch Linux and whilst their is a package for it in the AUR alas it doesn't work: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/emergent/

git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/emergent/

then i cd inside of it and run

./configure --prefix=/usr --bindir=~/.scripts/emergent2 --libdir=/usr/lib --qt5

Now you must type: cd build; make; make install
to actually build and install the software

I have tried all the build .sh files with no avail.
