Hi out there, this is my first successful attempt to build KDE components (KDevelop, as described in the tutorial)

I followed the tutorial and got stuck at 2 points: In Kubuntu 15.10 the following packages are missing: 

* bison
* flex

Seems that they are not standard in this distro. I added them to the dependencies list in the wiki.

The second thing was that I had to include the build-depencencies for kdevplatform:

  • $ kdesrc-build --include-dependencies kdevplatform


After that, the tutorial worked as described. Should this be added to the tutorial?


I would like to contribute something to this great project in the future (I'm using KDE since some years now and did some C++/Qt4 stuff in the past, beginning with Qt5 now).

So I also would like to see the "obstacles" as low as possible for anyone who wants to get involved as a "bloody beginner" like me.
