building from master branch

[Jeremy Whiting]

I got it from cmake error when I tried to build with
kde-builder/kdesrc-build:

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:165 (find_package):
 By not providing "FindLibAlkimia6.cmake" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH this project
 has asked CMake to find a package configuration file provided by
 "LibAlkimia6", but CMake did not find one.

 Could not find a package configuration file provided by "LibAlkimia6"
 (requested version 8.1.72) with any of the following names:

   LibAlkimia6Config.cmake
   libalkimia6-config.cmake

 Add the installation prefix of "LibAlkimia6" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set
 "LibAlkimia6_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files.  If
 "LibAlkimia6" provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it
 has been installed.


I didn't look close, but it looks like it's trying to build with kf5/qt5
indeed. I have libalkimia 8.1.2 from arch packages, but I guess that's a
long way behind 8.1.72...

When I tried to build alkimia from master it fails because it can't find
Plasma when looking for KF6. Ah, that's likely because when I build things
with kde-builder it's trying to builf qt6/kf6 by default. And there doesn't
seem to be a KF6Plasma.

Here's the patch I added on alkimia to try to build it. but of course it
fails because of the KNewStuff changes (No more EntryInternal anywhere,
which alkimia is subclassing).

So I guess the way to build currently is to use Qt5/KF5 until alkimia gets
fixed up/ported to KF6?
