Hi !

I am very new to KDE development. I was doing some experiments with *kdesrc*.
I successfully built and modified dolphin, adding features i wanted, of
which i am extremely enthusiastic!

I am using 10h/day Debian Stable since many years and on several
severs, it would beneficial to me to be able to keep working with this OS
and not move to a rolling-release OS. So, kdesrc for me it is great to try
new KDE software.

Unfortunately it is a few days i am not able to compile
anything else since *kwayland* blocks all other elements.

Trying to:
$> kdesrc-build kwayland --refresh-build
it fails, giving me back:
---------------------------------
Building kwayland from frameworks (3/3)
       Fetching remote changes to kwayland
       Merging kwayland changes from branch master
       Source update complete for kwayland: no files affected
         Rebuilding because the option refresh-build was set
       Preparing build system for kwayland.
       Removing files in build directory for kwayland
       Old build system cleaned, starting new build system.
       Running cmake targeting Unix Makefiles...
       Compiling... failed (after 38 seconds)
       Note: --- 27 --- compile warnings

kwayland didn't build, stopping here.

<<<  PACKAGES FAILED TO BUILD  >>>
kwayland - file:///home/p/kde/src/log/2022-09-12-03/kwayland/build.log

Important notification for kwayland:
   kwayland has failed to build 8 times.
   You can check https://build.kde.org/search/?q=kwayland to see if this is
expected.
---------------------------------------

. looking into the "....build.log" file:
----------------------------------------
...

gmake: *** [Makefile:160: all] Error 2

-------------------------------------------

. if i follow the link:
https://build.kde.org/search/?q=kwayland
i get a Grafana page asking me a password.

. I don't know how to find the file "Makefile" of which
"gmake" is talking about. And "error 2" gives me zero hints :/

. I recently run
$> sudo apt-get update
$> sudo apt upgrade
=> no difference on compiling kwayland, same error output

I am stuck, any ideas ?

bye
Nicola
