To access the fbp sources I tried to install the wxFormbuilder for 
Ubuntu 18.04LTS. As there seems neither distro version nor Debian 
packages I used the github repo with v3.9.0:

>sudo apt install libwxgtk3.0-dev libwxgtk-media3.0-dev meson
>sudo apt install libcanberra-gtk-module libcanberra-gtk3-module
>git clone --recursive --depth=1 
https://github.com/wxFormBuilder/wxFormBuilder
>cd wxFormBuilder
>meson _build --prefix $PWD/_install
>ninja -C _build install

went through without errors. After this, invoking
./_install/bin/wxformbuilder generates numerous errors:

19:08:05: Error: Could not set current working directory (error 2: No 
such file or directory)
19:08:05: Error: 
/home/jv/wxFormBuilder/_install/lib/wxformbuilder/libforms.so: cannot 
open shared object file: No such fil
19:08:05: Error: Error loading library 
/home/jv/wxFormBuilder/_install/lib/wxformbuilder/libforms 
<database.cpp@1447>
19:08:05: Error: Could not set current working directory (error 2: No 
such file or directory)

libforms.so is available in path 
_install/lib/x86_64-linux.gnu/wxformbuilder while wxFormBuilder searches 
path without x86_64-linux.gnu. Any help on how to go on appreciated.

Thanks,
Jürgen
