Well I started build process using command ./kdesrc-build --debug

If so, which ones are okay which ones are not?

Some parts of powerdevil require interaction with system dbus. Either install as root (using sudo), or configure your system dbus to look in some additional local prefix and install it into that prefix.

kdesrc-build as suggested here [2].
