Hi,

on kate-editor.org, the documentation how to build kate basically only talks about how to 
build it using kdesrc-build: https://kate-editor.org/build-it/[1]

To me, this seems quite complicated.
I just installed the KDE development packages from my distro (OpenSUSE Tumbleweed), 
ran cmake on the kate source tree, and then I can build it successfully, and to me it 
appears much simpler and more straightforward.

Why isn't this recommended ?

Alex
