Unable to build dolphin

Help

Hi, I am new to KDE and followed the instructions to set up a KDE development environment. I keep getting an error when building dolphin (as suggested on that page). The package kio-extras fails to build:

-- Checking for module 'libproxy-1.0'
-- Package 'libproxy-1.0' not found
CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake/Modules/FindPkgConfig.cmake:645 (message):
The following required packages were not found:

- libproxy-1.0

Call Stack (most recent call first):
/usr/share/cmake/Modules/FindPkgConfig.cmake:873 (_pkg_check_modules_internal)
kcms/proxy/wpad-detector/CMakeLists.txt:14 (pkg_check_modules)

The package libproxy is installed, but its name is not “libproxy-1.0”:

$ dnf list libproxy

libproxy.x86_64 0.5.8-1.fc41 anaconda

I am using Fedora 41 on VirtualBox.
Does anyone have this problem? Thank you!

As I suspected as in Debian the Fedora has the development files needed for compiling software in separate packages that need to be installed. Still does not solve the version number though unless there is a file named like that in the -devel package you need to install…

I have now installed libproxy-devel and the package kio-extras was built without errors. Thank you!
