Falkon for Debian 12 / 386

[GreyResort_Proton]

Dear Sirs,

I have made some progress regarding the making of Falkon browser latest version on a 386 PC running Debian 12.

So far, I have done the following :

- sudo apt-get install build-essential git
- sudo apt install cmake
- git clone https://invent.kde.org/network/falkon.git
- cd falkon
- mkdir build && cd build
- cmake ..

But the I get an error with this latest command line:

"Could not find ECM (missing ECM_DIR)..."

It says I need to install "Extra-CMake-Modules" version 5.240.0 or later, but in my apt repository I have only version 5.103.0-1 available. I believe that if the ECM issue is fixed I should be able to finalize the installation of Falkon latest version on my 386 PC running Debian 12. I found the web page regarding KDE / ECM : https://github.com/KDE/extra-cmake-modules but I don't know what to do next... Can someone help me with that ?

By the way, is there a possibility of updating my CMake version 3.25.1 to the latest 4.2.3 ? My PC is 386 (i686) and I see that CMake 4.2.3 is for X86-64 computers...

Kind Regards.

Grey
