<br /><p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;">That is actually also how I have built Kate and KTextEditor on KDE Neon for years :) </p>
<br /><p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;">The downside is that if I temporarily need a newer version of some KF5 library than what Neon provides (no release yet) I might have to keep building newer versions until I do a proper cleanup of installed cmake files for that library...</p>
