How to install kde-builder

How to install kde-builder fast

Install kde-builder.

# Edit the file ~/.config/kde-builder.yaml as needed.

# kde-builder is installed.
# Use kde-builder instead of kdesrc-build. The command lines are the same.

kde-builder kconfig
kde-builder kcalc
kde-builder --run kcalc
# Run kcalc with the KDE theme that is used by your KDE Plasma desktop.
kde-builder plasma-integration
kde-builder --run kcalc

How to write the entire verbose STDOUT and STDERR of kdesrc-build to a file

script -eq -c "kdesrc-build kconfig --no-src --no-include-dependencies --refresh-build --debug" ~/a.txt ;  sed -i $'s/\033\[[0-9]\+m//g' ~/a.txt

The sed part removes the terminal ANSI color escape codes.

script -eq -c "command" ~/a.txt is better than command |& tee ~/a.txt because kdesrc-build behaves differently if it is run in a user interactive terminal session (isatty).

If using tee, part of the output of kdesrc-build will not be written to file. E.g. the output of the cmake step, the final part of the make -j step, the final part of the make install step.
