It contains a compile error during make preinstall; the bundled msgpack library fails to compile. ... That is, if you follow *literally* the initial gist create_neovim_qt_deb.sh . Which is almost 5 years old by now. Perhaps you can notice that it instructs you to compile a *fork* <https://github.com/maorv/neovim-qt> which's been devoid of activity for about the same 5 years. Compare that with the original repo <https://github.com/equalsraf/neovim-qt> which is obviously breathing and alive. You should be fine if you just use the original git repo instead of the stale fork. — You are receiving this because you were mentioned.
