Very good idea. In my case, this would hopefully allow me to debug a new multiscreen issue ... There are some recent HOWTOs at [1] https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs [2] https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Development [3] https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Build_from_source [4] https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Build_from_source/Details [5] https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Build_from_source/Plasma_5_on_Ubuntu_14.04_LTS but I don't know yet how useful [3]-[5] really are. > For example an analytic guide for some of the most used distributions, > Ubuntu, Fedora, openSUSE etc. > > I am using openSUSE and I would love to have a walk through to follow > for the first steps... I'm using Fedora -- yes, a walk through for building Plasma (ideally with distro-specific hints) would be greatly appreciated. Cheers Fredy Neeser IBM Zurich Research
