It is supposed to be documented on
http://techbase.kde.org/Projects/KDE_on_Solaris
and if it is not, that is a wiki that can be improved. What's *supposed* to
work, from my point of view (which is "the important thing is the
specfiles"), is
cd specs
gmake
or
gmake FOSShal FOSSqt KDEgames
In there, 'gmake check-version' should tell you if your environment is set up
correctly (CBE 1.7 will do that, for instance, if you source env.sh).

The documentation says the hg repo; the Subversion specs/ dir is a copy from a
few weeks back (which could be updated). Frankly, I am no longer interested
in arguing over which repo to use.

That was at least one reason to want a separate specs repo (another being the
ability to push into opensolaris.org).
