So now is based on kapptemplate https://github.com/Mte90/kate-ollama

Now compiles, generate the so file, but it is missing the install procedure as just generate locally.
It is not placing in the right folder in the system.

At same time the instructions to run the plugin from the folder generated not works.

The code it's there if someone can help me.
I think that it is not easy to develop a Kate plugin as it is now, https://develop.kde.org/docs/apps/kate/plugin/ doesn't mention kapptemplate.

Nice that you are interested in working on stuff with Kate :)

Unfortunately for you on Debian Sid, all Kate development has moved to Qt6 and 
KF6 over a year ago. Any changes you would need to upstream would have to go 
to the Qt6 version...

That said you could test to get a plugin working by using KAppTemplate to 
create a Kate plugin. With that template it should be possible to install the 
plugin to the right system location with CMake

mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr ../
cmake --build .
sudo cmake --build . --target install

Hope that helps,

Br,
  Kåre

I am on Debian Sid, and I am not very skilled with C++ but I am trying to do

There is <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://github.com/arturbac/kdevcxx_with_ai">https://github.com/arturbac/kdevcxx_with_ai</a> but is only for OpenAI

The problem is that on installing the plugin path is "-- Installing:
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/plugins/ktexteditor/kate-ollama.so" but Kate
doesn't load it.

The plugin of course is not complete as I want to do some testing and
probably improve the UX but if I am not able to try it...

What I am missing?
