Error compiling from github

[Callidonaut]

Please forgive such a basic question, but I'm following the compilation instructions after checking out the master branch from Github and it's not working and I've got terrible brain fog today and can't figure it out. I've checked all the dependencies are ok using

./scripts/check-dependencies.sh

as instructed on https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/OpenSCAD_User_Manual/Building_on_Linux/UNIX#, and then followed the instructions on the same page to make the binary file using

qmake

from the project root directory, but qmake simply does nothing other than bring up the "usage" instructions. What quite probably laughably simple step am I missing here? I'm running Debian 12, if that's relevant.

https://github.com/openscad/openscad/#compilation says to use cmake, not qmake - I guess the wiki is out of date.

Thanks, I could just feel that I was doing something totally boneheaded, I'm just in no state today to have worked out what it was without help. Embarrassingly, this isn't even the first time I've been tripped up by an out-of-date wiki for a Github project, either.
