Build instructions / docs

Hi all, trying to contribute to the plasma-keyboard project. There are some references to “how to build qt6” and “how to build plasma” docs, but so far, I’m having no luck finding them.

Gotta admit, I’m not an expert coder in the Linux space, and getting errors like the below leave me flummoxed:

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:11 (find_package):
By not providing “FindECM.cmake” in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH this project has
asked CMake to find a package configuration file provided by “ECM”, but
CMake did not find one.

Could not find a package configuration file provided by "ECM" (requested
version 6.0.0) with any of the following names:

ECMConfig.cmake
ecm-config.cmake

Add the installation prefix of "ECM" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set "ECM_DIR"
to a directory containing one of the above files. If "ECM" provides a
separate development package or SDK, be sure it has been installed.

Maybe the best area to ask in for this problem is “Development”

This is the entrypoint for our development docs: https://develop.kde.org/docs/getting-started/building/

That message says you’re missing extra-cmake-modules, which is built by default by kde-builder.

If you’re trying to build it manually and want to stick to that route, see Installing build dependencies. Otherwise use kde-builder.
