| ==kdesrc-build==
| |
| | |
| Make sure kdesrc-build works correctly. Make sure ~/.config/kdesrc-buildrc contains the lines:
| |
| | |
| {{Input|1=<nowiki>
| |
| cmake-options -G "Kate - Unix Makefiles" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug
| |
| # Build with LSP support for everything that supports it
| |
| compile-commands-linking true
| |
| compile-commands-export true
| |
| </nowiki>}}
| |
| | |
| Using kdesrc-build build a module. E.g.
| |
| {{Input|1=<nowiki>
| |
| kdesrc-build kcalc
| |
| </nowiki>}}
| |
| | |
| ==kate==
