Hi, KDE Mailing List!

I'm trying to fix some bugs I found on Kate and also I want to do some 
extensions that could be useful, but I'm pretty new working and building KDE 
software and by now I'm having a trouble building Kate.

When I execute `make` I got a lot of errors like this:

fareden at tardis:~/kde/kate/build$ make

katebacktracebrowserplugin.dir/all] Error 2
make: *** [Makefile:141: all] Error 2

As far I can understand the macro Q_FOREACH is not present or not working. I 
already try to figure it out how to fix it but I can't find anything on the web.

My system:
Linux tardis 4.19.0-11-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.19.146-1 (2020-09-17) x86_64 GNU/
Linux
Make version: GNU Make 4.2.1
Qt version: Qt version 5.11.3 in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
I have already installed all the suggested packages on the https://kate-editor.org/build-it/ site.

Thanks in advance.
