Building and installing KDE Connect from source

[Raphaël Jakse]

Thanks for your answer.

It seems I get the same error if I install with 
KDE_INSTALL_USE_QT_SYS_PATHS=OFF.

Error loading the QML file:
file:///usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.kdeconnect/contents/ui/main.qml:24:1: 
module "org.kde.kdeconnect" is not installed.
