Goldendict: GoldenDict fails to compile since end of 2017 Jun or July

[embar-]

Now GoldenDict fails to compile for a lot Linux distributions.
It stopped to compile between end of 2017 Jun and end of 2017 July.
See https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/office:goldendict/goldendict-master
Only „bleeding edge“ openSUSE Tumbleweed ( aka openSUSE Factory) do success.
Seems problem related with hunspell (success with 1.6, fails with 1.4 and older version):

Do you pass "CONFIG+=old_hunspell" to qmake while build with hunspell 1.4 as mentioned in readme.md?

6 months passed. I wonder why this issue is not closed.

I am getting this issue on Debian stretch:

You should pass "CONFIG+=old_hunspell" as parameter for qmake, i.e. qmake "CONFIG+=old_hunspell" instead of CONFIG+=old_hunspell qmake.

thanks!
