KDE4 build questions

[Joe Pearson]

Thanks Billy
I had looked at that page and not followed all of it because it seems to 
be for KDE 5.
I was able to cmake and make extra-cmake-modules from the link you gave 
- but it gave messages about optional packages missing, in particular 
Qt5Core. And paying careful heed to the warning about 'make install' as 
root not always being reversible, I'm going to proceed cautiously. Are 
you on KDE 4?
