Hi Konstantin,
sorry for your bad experienced, but I think it would have been much
easier. Assuming you are on a Debian based distribution the steps should
just be:
* sudo apt build-dep kmail
* kdesrc-build kde-pim
I personally don't have all dependencies build from source, but just the
one I develop. Everything else I do through distro packages. I would
never try to build something like webengine from source, that's just a
mess.
In fact, our official documentation even recommends grabbing
dependencies using the package manager:
https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved/development#Build_some_software
This is what I do too and it works great. You get the non-KDE
dependencies from the distro, and build only the necessary KDE
dependencies from source using kdesrc-build. It's generally very smooth.
Did you find the instructions at
https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved/development difficult to follow
or understand? I'm always interested in improving this documentation.
