That's why I started to compile KF5 into a Docker container. This way you can keep your main system clean, and avoid to install a lot of *-dev packages. I would like to share a set of Dockerfiles which will build an image with all the necessary build dependencies already installed. Instead of a set of Dockerfiles, each one for a different distro, which makes for a lot of duplicated code, could it be written in a single Dockerfile which checks the OS and does as approppriate for that OS? Actually, a Dockerfile is just describing how to build a specific system image. It just gives the necessary instructions like DO something, then DO something else, and It has not been designed to receive parameters, nor handle conditions. OK, I see. I was confused because I have a Chef background. Furthermore, you cannot merge these Dockerfile into one because their base systems are different (Ubuntu, Archlinux, OpenSuse, Fedora). The first instruction of each Dockerfile is FROM base_system and it cannot be configured. Having one Dockerfile per distro is nice, because you can see the differences between them, mostly for package naming and default packages installed. Now that I understand how Docker works, I see why there's one Dockerfile per distro. Another issue that I see is the Qt version. Can we rely on always having the needed version from the ubuntu-sdk-team repository? This repository provides packages for Qt5, in version 5.2.1 It's not the latest version of Qt5, so one day you might have kf5 build issues because of this. But I haven't found an up-to-date repo for Qt5 yet. Maybe we should download Qt5 from qt.io in this case ? I have found a Dockerfile [1] that can be tweaked to install any released version of Qt5 from qt.io.

I would like to share a set of Dockerfiles which will build an image with all the necessary build dependencies already installed. Also, it may be easier for newcomers to compile KF5 using this system, and to start contributing more easily. Here is the repo : https://github.com/Mathux/docker-kdesrc-build Thanks !
