plasma-sdk fails to build with the error log shown below:

Comment 1 Friedrich W. H. Kossebau 2017-02-28 15:21:20 UTC 
While I touched plasmate last, because I adapted it to changes I did myself to the kdevplatform API, to be a nice guy for related projects, I am not the maintainer or even a user of plasmate.

Looking at the commit log of plasmate (https://cgit.kde.org/plasma-sdk.git/log/plasmate) it seems development of plasmate has actually stalled.
Guess it is time to discuss this with the plasma team, whether plasmate is a zombie now and should be rather properly buried, i.e. removed from the codebase. Until someone cares enough to revive it :)

[16:10] <frinring> Riddell: hi. as plasma release master, what is your take on plasmate? who is the person to talk to? is it something people, incl. you, actually know about? :) https://cgit.kde.org/plasma-sdk.git/log/plasmate looks like development is dead.
[16:12] <Riddell> frinring: I don't know, feels like it needs a discussion on the mailing list to see if it's useful and if there's energy to maintain it

But not my playground, so removing myself from this bug.
