Indeed I spent a few days struggling with build system. It became much 
easier now. Just grab sources from git, install required develompent 
packages (no need to build kdelibs) and cmake && make install. That's all

I think it's important to make sure that kstars works with few last 
versions of kdelibs. Requirement to build kdelibs significantly raises 
the bar. For example I too lazy bother myself with it.

I'm afraid I won't have any time at all for a next 2-3 weeks.
