    First of all I should inform you about the prebuilt binary qjackctl-0.9.6 package in the Rui Nuno Capela's Applications PPA, it is installable by:

    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:rncbc/apps-focal
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install qjackctl

    and then simply start using it.

    Or if you are sure about the compilation path, you have to use the following steps to compile from source:

    1. Enable Source Code (deb-src) repositories using Software & Update (software-properties-gtk)

    2. Get fresh packages lists and build-dependencies

      sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get build-dep qjackctl

    3. Get and compile the source

      sudo apt-get install cmake debhelper-compat qttools5-dev
cd ~/Downloads
wget -c https://download.sourceforge.net/qjackctl/qjackctl-0.9.6.tar.gz
tar -xf qjackctl-0.9.6.tar.gz
cd qjackctl-0.9.6
wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/q/qjackctl/qjackctl_0.9.6-1.debian.tar.xz
tar -xf qjackctl_0.9.6-1.debian.tar.xz
rm qjackctl_0.9.6-1.debian.tar.xz
mv ../qjackctl-0.9.6.tar.gz ../../qjackctl_0.9.6.orig.tar.gz
dpkg-buildpackage -uc -us
sudo apt-get install ../qjackctl_0.9.6-1_amd64.deb

    4. Use compiled application.
