Building and installing KDE Connect from source

[Amish Naidu]

Hi,
I was able to install it succesfully with some additional cmake flags

$ cmake ../kdeconnect-kde \
  -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr \
  -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
  -DLIB_INSTALL_DIR=lib \
  -DLIBEXEC_INSTALL_DIR=lib

Try these flags.
