As can be seen, fakeplugin.desktop is not found or generated and thus the
whole compilation fails.

I have no idea what the error is about really but I have two suggestions:

(1) if fakeplugin.desktop is not totally important, perhaps continue with
the compile cycle.

(2) IF fakeplugin.desktop is important, it should be auto-generated or
perhaps a failsafe .desktop file bundled with kservice.

Right now I can not compile the rest of KDE5 but I am absolutely sure
that I was able to compile KDE5 up to including KDE Konsole a few months
ago. It seems as if the tests are run automatically? Perhaps that could
also become some documented commandline switch, since I don't need any
tests really - the C++ code should work just fine no?
