I'm ok with the idea. My only concern is that pkg-config files are typically installed in locations (like /usr or /usr/local) where the regular user doesn't have write-access. Thereby causing problems when installing KDE as a regular user. But as long as I can still install KDE as my regular user, I don't see any reason why not. _______________________________________________ Kde-buildsystem mailing list [email protected] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-buildsystem
