# Make sure that you have Python >= 3.9.
# Install Python packages from your OS. E.g. on Kubuntu 23.10:
sudo apt install python3-dbus python3-promise python3-yaml python3-setproctitle
./kde-builder --initial-setup
mv ~/.config/kdesrc-buildrc .
# Edit the file ./kdesrc-buildrc as needed.

# kde-builder is installed.
# Use ./kde-builder instead of ./kdesrc-build. The command lines are the same.

./kde-builder kconfig
./kde-builder kcalc
./kde-builder --run kcalc
# Run kcalc with the KDE theme that is used by your KDE Plasma desktop.
./kde-builder plasma-integration
./kde-builder --run kcalc
./kde-builder frameworks

Qt 6 installed using Qt online installer

The homepage of the Qt Framework is https://www.qt.io . Go to this web page, create an online account. https://www.qt.io/download-open-source > "Download the Qt Online Installer" > Linux > "Qt Online Installer for Linux (64-bit)" > download a file named e.g. qt-unified-linux-x64-4.6.1-online.run into the directory e.g. "~/Downloads".

ls -la ~/Downloads # The downloaded file needs to hace the "executable" chmod bit set.
chmod +x ~/Downloads/qt-unified-linux-x64-4.6.1-online.run
~/Downloads/qt-unified-linux-x64-4.6.1-online.run

Login using your Qt online account. Next > check the checkbox "I have read and agree to the terms and conditions of using OpenSource Qt", check the checkbox "I'm an individual and do not use Qt for any company" > Next > Next > enable "Help us improve" > Next > Custom installation, notice that the install directory is "~/Qt" > Next. Install the latest version of Qt6 and the latest version of the Qt Creator integrated development environment (IDE). There are some Qt6 components that are not used by KDE and can be left out when installing Qt6 e.g. WebAssembly, Android, Sources, Qt Quick 3D, Qt 3D, "Quick: 3D Physics", "Qt debug Information Files".

In the KDE Plasma app launcher you now have the application "Qt Maintenance Tool".

Set up kde-builder from scratch as usual.

Edit the file kdesrc-buildrc to look like:

global
...
    qt-install-dir  ~/Qt/6.6.0/gcc_64 # Where to install Qt6 if kdesrc-build supplies it
    libname lib
...
end global

Make gpgme build:

sudo su
mkdir -p /home/qt/work
chown -R username:username /home/qt/work
ln -s /home/username/Qt/6.6.0/gcc_64 /home/qt/work/install
ls -la /home/qt/work
