<br /><p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;">on kate-editor.org, the documentation how to build kate basically only talks about how to build it using kdesrc-build: <a href="https://kate-editor.org/build-it/">https://kate-editor.org/build-it/</a></p>
<br /><p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;">To me, this seems quite complicated.</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;">I just installed the KDE development packages from my distro (OpenSUSE Tumbleweed), ran cmake on the kate source tree, and then I can build it successfully, and to me it appears much simpler and more straightforward.</p>
<br /><p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;">Why isn't this recommended ?</p>
