I was surprised tht Wayland is not the throw-out-Xorg package I had assumed, it seems to be treated as a new interface to X. But it is required for plasma (and Mesa needs to be built against it, with the driver selected). (And the same with kf5 itself - by looking in the details of the systemd book I could see what looked unnecessary. At that time I did not see anything which used kapidox, and two of the runtime deps, Jinja and PyYAML - both python modules - do not seem to be in the book.) > BTW, Qt5 has been working fine for me using KDE Apps like kdenlive.

But that is in /opt/kf5. I had hoped to treat it as my main version of qt (only vlc needs qt4 in my normal build), so I wanted to put it in /usr. The systemd book has/had instructions for qt-5.4.2 in /usr, with qtchooser. My attempts to use qt-5.5 in /usr, either with or without qtchooser, have all failed (either qupzilla does not link, or one of the kf5 packages used by lxqt does not build). At the moment I'm revising my scripts to use /opt/qt5 again. ĸen -- This one goes up to eleven: but only on a clear day, with the wind in the right direction. -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
