Thanks for the reply, we’re up and running 
I checked the list of dependencies given in a reply to that first thread and it seems I was missing OpenAL dev package – is there an official list of requirements/dependencies somewhere, I couldn’t see one on github?
EDIT: I’ve tried all the bananas and just a couple don’t work but it seems to be code related rather than anything to do with my system – not sure if it’s worth reporting these somewhere??
Also weird ‘feature’: Running the executable from a terminal the file open dialog always appears behind the editor whereas when running with double-click from GUI the open dialog works as expected. No biggie.
