[KDE/Mac] Cross-platform with kdeinit5, klauncher5, kded5 and friends

Hi Jeremy and Ian,

I just wanted to write about that I can’t start filelight successfully on OSX/CI and then
I saw this text about filelight's kpart:

I'm not sure if those sets of data are cached by kbuildsycoca5 or not, but they aren't by the code path that's taking a while on osx currently (VFolder::loadApplications). For example filelight which has a kpart has installed /usr/local/share/kservices5/filelightpart.desktop here. As for services I think those are all defined as dbus services in $PREFIX/share/dbus/services/*.service


How can we achieve that filelight searches for it’s kpart's desktop file in the right
location, being here on the OSX/CI system at

  /opt/kde/install/darwin/mavericks/clang/kf5-qt5/kde/kdeutils/filelight/inst/share/kservices5/filelightpart.desktop

???

KService should be able to find the part
---
    KService::Ptr service = KService::serviceByDesktopName(QStringLiteral("filelightpart"));
---
as I deliberately pass on the XDG_DATA_DIRS env var containing also

	/opt/kde/install/darwin/mavericks/clang/kf5-qt5/kde/kdeutils/filelight/inst/share

but I wonder why KService still can’t seem to find it.

How to debug this?

Greets,
Marko
