Almost a dup of bug 263936 (I'll let you decide whether you want to piggyback on that bug or not). I don't really have the time to keep up-to-date lists of build requirements for each particular distro so I probably will not add special code to check for that. On the other hand, many package managers have a way for installing the build dependencies of a given package and so if there's an easy way to a) verify the distro kdesrc-build is running under and b) verify through the package manager the build dependencies are installed for e.g. kdelibs I don't mind that, as the burden of staying up-to-date shifts mostly to the package manager. Also note that some of those packages can themselves be built by kdesrc-build (polkit-qt-1, dbusmenu-qt, attica, etc.) although as long as the distro's version works there's no reason to do so from kdesrc-build. We currently have --install-distro-packages, and the list of distro dependencies is regularly updated. |
