Compiling of Kronometer 2.2.1 on Kubuntu 16.04 throws an error:

cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=`qtpaths --install-prefix` ..

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:25 (find_package):
  Could not find a configuration file for package "Qt5" that is compatible
  with requested version "5.9.0".

  The following configuration files were considered but not accepted:

    /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/cmake/Qt5/Qt5Config.cmake, version: 5.6.1


Plasma 5.8.8
KDE Framework 5.36
Qt 5.6.1

Unfortunately your Qt is too old. Kronometer requires Qt >= 5.9.0 because it has an important bugfix.

As workaround, you can try to install the Kronometer flatpak: https://userbase.kde.org/Kronometer#Flatpak
