There must be script to do this? Where's the documentation then? so basically, to develop kate you do: git clone kde:kate cd kate mkdir build cd build cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/banana make install -j4 this itself will work as usual, now you can do source prefix.sh kate and use it If installation really bothers you, we can remove the installation altogether and suggest just calling it from the build directory. I included because I started with `kde:scratch/apol/prefixsetup` in mind, which I use to test apps I develop on systems that I have where I just `make install ; source /opt/mystuff/prefix.sh`. But it's not necessary to do it like that and removing the option also can reduce the complexity.
