I spent 2 days building KDE by hand, it all built successfully without any
errors, and then KDE did not run!
I spent many a hours on #kde-devel, where most of the people asked me why I
had not used a scripted build?
In the end , after all the help I got, I could not get my manually built KDE
to run!

and then I used a scripted build, and it all works like a charm!!!

Building manually sure taught me a little about the inner details which
kdesrc-build hides from you, but It eats up a lot of my time! and to me time
is very precious :)
