Compiling KDevelop5 for newbies, where?

[Arthur Gruzauskas]

Thank you Kevin, for your reply.

Two issues.

1) It really needs to be accessible from the main page, 
https://www.kdevelop.org

2) Links to my approach are missing in item 6.

To me, Issue 1) is more important. If you are looking around for ways to 
actually use this superb tool, it should be available on the main page of 
KDevelop.

If it is hard to find, folk will move on. That is a needless loss to the 
community.

Arthur
