Jonathan, This is really cool! I agree that it would be good to start with frameworks-devel since I think if we were to pick up some of this work at all, it would be best for us to start with KF5 and ensure that we can get a "KF5 static" version setup in our CI infrastructure before we'd start working on adding support for static build to applications. You're right that kdesrc-build doesn't support cross-build... at all. I'm impressed you convinced stock kdesrc-build to make this work, even with pre-built executables. Have you looked into things like Snap or Flatpak at all as a way to ease deployments? Or is this meant to be a bit more crossplatform (Linux, macOS, Windows)? Regards, - Michael Pyne
