Description Alex 2021-05-28 15:19:57 UTC 
This might be a problem on my end, but I have tried to uninstall and reinstall kdesrc-build, and it still happens.

To reproduce, I tried to `kdesrc-build neochat`, and then `kdesrc-run neochat`. I get an error:

bash: /home/alex/kde/build/neochat/prefix.sh: No such file or directory
Comment 1 Nate Graham 2021-06-03 12:59:54 UTC 
Looks like the code is assuming the use of the `flat` file structure. See https://invent.kde.org/sdk/kdesrc-build/-/merge_requests/96

In the meantime, you can source the prefix.sh file by hand from the path relevant to the `invent` file structure:

/home/alex/kde/build/[something]/neochat/prefix.sh

...Where in this case, [something] is equal to "network".

If you feel as I do that using the `invent` file structure is inefficient and inappropriate for newcomers, please feel free to leave a supportive comment on https://invent.kde.org/sdk/kdesrc-build/-/merge_requests/96 and give it a thumbs-up.
Comment 2 Alex 2021-06-03 13:48:56 UTC 
Another workaround seems to be to run it like this:

kdesrc-run network/neochat

Looks like this bug is fixed since that MR was merged. Thanks Nate.
