KDEConnect Digest, Vol 38, Issue 2

[Antoine Prang]

Hello,

to build kdeconnect on kubuntu, I use the following cmake commande (from a
build folder):

 - cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DKDE_INSTALL_USE_QT_SYS_PATHS=ON ..

and then:
 - make
 - sudo make install

And it works like a charm !
The error you noticed is solved by adding the parameter USE_QT_SYS_PATHS=ON.
I dont understand well the impact of this parameter, but it works.

This solution was previously given in this mailling, but Indeed it would be
great if this is added in the Readme or somewhere else.

Antoine
