Theroretically yes. Bit its not practical I do not know of anyone who does this and it is neither documented nor really tested. At least you would also need some dev utils like a compiler or cmake, perl etc. and then you would have to manually set up an environment. Make sure you use the right build options so that everything is found etc. etc. > > Or does emerge these days support installing a complete KDE development > environment without compiling anything? No Emerge is mostly a source distribution with some binary packages added for convineance. But emerge is the way to go if you want to compile a KDE Application from source. It is specifically designed for the task of setting up a development environment with all necessary tools and the dependencies you need. I even would encourage you to use EMERGE_SOURCE_ONLY=True because the binary packages are often a bit outdated.
