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.

Install the latest version of Qt6 and the latest version of the Qt Creator integrated development environment (IDE). There are some Qt6 components that are not used by KDE and can be left out when installing Qt6 e.g. WebAssembly, Android, Sources, Qt Quick 3D, Qt 3D, "Quick: 3D Physics", "Qt debug Information Files".
+The <code>sed</code> part removes the terminal ANSI color escape codes.
-In the KDE Plasma app launcher you now have the application "Qt Maintenance Tool".
+<code>script -eq -c "command" ~/a.txt</code> is better than <code>command |& tee ~/a.txt</code> because kdesrc-build behaves differently if it is run in a user interactive terminal session (<code>isatty</code>).
-Set up kde-builder from scratch as usual.
+If using <code>tee</code>, part of the output of kdesrc-build will not be written to file. E.g. the output of the <code>cmake</code> step, the final part of the <code>make -j</code> step, the final part of the <code>make install</code> step.
