Hmm Ubuntu 20.04 does not have the required Qt for a new build, but 4.2.5 should build fine.
Where did you grab the 4.2.5 branch?
You can grab tags here: https://github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorrent/tags

On 20.04, IF you want the GUI version, you can try using the AppImage.
If you only need the WebUI, you can try using the "qbittorrent-nox-static" project: https://github.com/userdocs/qbittorrent-nox-static
