Hi again,

OK thanks, I'll start sniffing around ...
I've been wondering about all those portfiles that have to be created, it's quite annoying that KF5 apparently cannot be built like Qt5 (a single toplevel cmake file that picks up which framework dirs are present and then generates a single Makefile to build the whole shebang ...)

Anyway, I think I'll start by "doing them" one by one... hopefully it's easy to find out in what order they must be built.

I hope that in the end I haven't been creating yet another Qt5 port for nothing? Will KF5.13 build against Qt 5.5.0?

Smartpants, you know what I meant!

The workspace stuff will probably pose problems, but I guess we'll have to live with not being able to have systemsettings5 for a while.

Hmm, is that enforced in ways other than that there can only be 1 kate/kdevelop/kbamboolah in the same bindir? Under MacPorts most applications will end up in /Applications/MacPorts/KF5 (or maybe we'll call it KDE5 :)) so as long as shared libraries and plugins/kparts/etc are coinstallable the applications might be too.

'night!
