Re: My build of Kate seems not use my build of KIO

I must enable LD_LIBRARY_PATH modification in the prefix.sh file to force
it to use the altered KIO:

# LD_LIBRARY_PATH only needed if you are building without rpath
export
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/alaporte/projects/kde/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

And after that, my modification is taken into account. It's strange because
ldd point on the right library:

alaporte@alaporte-ThinkPad-T480:[16:29:36]:~/projects/kde/src/kde/applications/kate
(display-python-inner-function)$ ldd
/home/alaporte/projects/kde/usr/bin/kate | grep KIO
       libKF5KIOWidgets.so.5 =>
/home/alaporte/projects/kde/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libKF5KIOWidgets.so.5
(0x00007f4aa1208000)
       libKF5KIOGui.so.5 =>
/home/alaporte/projects/kde/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libKF5KIOGui.so.5
(0x00007f4aa1191000)
       libKF5KIOCore.so.5 =>
/home/alaporte/projects/kde/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libKF5KIOCore.so.5
(0x00007f4aa0f46000)

Kate build doesn't use rpath?
