On Windows and OSX, you can omit the -DQTROOT argument to use the Qt built by Plex. Otherwise, download a supported Qt version from qt.io. If your distro provides a Qt 5.9.5 package, try to use it. Systems not based on Debian/Ubuntu will have similar packages, but you'll need to figure out their names yourself.

Please consider building PMP within a dedicated VM or Docker container if your system has a Qt version installed newer than 5.9.5.

The advantage of this over something like a Roku box is that PMP has native playback capabilities for pretty much anything.
