sudo apt install qtbase5-private-dev should solve your issue.

I am using an independent package qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.9.2.tar.xz rather than USE_SYSTEM, which installed successfully in this directory /home/xxx/Documents/gitlab/LidarViewX64/build/install/ on ubuntu 16.04. I think it has nothing to do with qtbase5-private-dev?

sudo apt install qtbase5-private-dev should solve your issue.
