Hi, I've started to update the old TechBase Getting_Started pages for the new KF5 world [1].
My aim is to teach the one simplest quickest way to build KF5 for new KDE contributors. There's a few key concepts I want this rewrite to follow: 1) There is only one way to do things, no giving alternatives 2) There is only KF5, no KDE4 3) There is only kdesrc-build, no manual messing around The three build scenarios (= new dev personas) that will be presented will be: 1) Build an app only using packaged Qt and KF5 2) Build Plasma only using packaged Qt and KF5 3) Build Frameworks using packaged Qt All the more detailed or historic information will be removed to other parts of TechBase [2]. New build instructions for external devs just wanting to use a Framework or two should also go here and not Getting_Started. This may result in some default build configs needing to be added to the kdesrc-build repo to make life easier. There may also need to be a couple of simple scripts to set-up kdesrc-build to start with, and to actually run things seeing as kdesrc-build doesn't. The less the new dev has to worry about the better. Thoughts? Is anyone else working on something similar? John.
