Another thing that might help is the attached script. I use it to make test
builds of KiCad, and it doesn't require any special privileges. Just do a git
clone, then make a build subdirectory, and run the script like so:
git clone https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad.git
cd kicad
mkdir build-master
cd build-master
build_kicad
The script will then tell you how to set up your LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable to
run the build. Note that on Fedora we use /lib64, but other distros may do
that differently, so you may have to tweak the script a little.
