[Kstars-devel] Porting KStars to KF5

[Jasem Mutlaq]

Hello,

I'm not sure on Fedora, but on Kubuntu, you can just use project-neon5 PPA,
and just use neon5-env to setup the environment variables, and then it
should build cleanly. It won't run yet, but at least it compiles and a lot
of files/directories are disabled still.

Regards,
Jasem
