I'm trying to build the knotifications framework on a platform that doesn't provide packages for kde. The platform provided qt5 and qt5-tools packages. I installed them. Then when building the framework dependencies I got http://ix.io/3uDy
>From that error I suspect that the system qt5 is broken. So now I am interested in allowing kdesrc-build to create QT5, and then back to the steps to build the framework. On the Qt5 build I am getting >Couldn't update Qt5 repository submodules! Unable to update Qt5, build cancelled. I went to the qt5 src directory and ran git submodule update. It took awhile, but it looks like it updated the submodules. However I still get the same error mentioned above when I try to build. Can someone suggest how I can manually update the submodules or satisfy the sources so kdesrc-build can build qt5 and I can move to the next step?
