I'm thinking of trying out Alien Bob's KDE5 build. Anyone here using it?

Judging from the numerous comments on his blog, I'd say yes, quite definitely.

I do.

Can't connect with Telepathy on my side but I don't use it.

I'd suggest you wait few days for next release ;-)

Full disclosure: one of the reasons I'm interested in KDE5 is because it's a dependency for LXQt.

it depend of qt5, but not of kde

It needs KDE Framework 5 as well as Qt 5.

Believe me, I tried to build it with just Qt 5.

You might want to double-check your facts.

Okay, what did I miss that you two got?

You can see right here that KDE Framework 5 is a compile-time dependency for the current version of liblxqt. This is consistent with the results I actually got:

https://github.com/lxde/liblxqt/blob...Lists.txt#L138

Code:

find_package(KF5WindowSystem REQUIRED QUIET)

And it's documented as a dependency on the official LXQt homepage:

http://wiki.lxde.org/en/Build_LXQt_From_Source#liblxqt

Quote:

Prerequisite: cmake >= 2.8.11, qt >= 5.3, KWindowSystem, libqtxdg

gmgf · 11-13-2015, 03:56 PM

yes, but it seem, that kwindowsystem depend just of qt5.

dugan, you just need the KDE Frameworks. The rest of KDE 5 (Plasma, Applications) is not required for LXQT.

To facilitate people who build LXQT, I have made a proper subrepository out of my Framework packages, read the section "A note on Frameworks" in http://alien.slackbook.org/blog/kde-...ngs-telepathy/ for instance.

I made the switch to Plasma 5 today. It was completely seamless and trouble free. Great work, Alien Bob!
