Hi,
Following BLFS dev, I built latest KDE plasma and sddm with QT-5.6.0. The
build was OK.
However starting sddm or kde plasma failed (segmentation fault).

I'm very glad you got it working, because it shows that what is in
the book for plasma does indeed work - I'm one of those people for
whom, at the moment, it doesn't (I can't even reliably startkde
after dropping back to runlevel 3).
One specific question (since nobody replied on -dev) - how did you
create the files in /run/user for pulse ? I had forgotten /run
appears to be volatile.
It does not 'appear' to be volatile, it *is* volatile.
$ grep run /etc/fstab
tmpfs /run tmpfs defaults 0 0
See LFS Section 8.2.
I have in my ~/.bash_profile
export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/plasma-runtime-bdubbs
I suppose a generic value would be
export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/plasma-runtime-$USER
That type of thing is not mentioned in the book. Where do you think it
should be? Possibly configuration for xdg-utils, but plasma may be
appropriate.
Actually I do not think that XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is strictly needed. It just
prints a warning and creates the file in /tmp.
