Is there a PPA for the latest KDevelop builds? Ubuntu's repo only has a very old version of KDevelop available, and I prefer to avoid using AppImages if I don't have to. If there is no PPA is it straightforward to build KDevelop from source?

Best regards

PPA:
https://launchpad.net/~kdenlive/+archiv ... ive-stable
idk if this works
As for build instruction

Code: Select all

git clone https://invent.kde.org/multimedia/kdenlive
cd kdenlive/
git checkout v20.12.2 # or any other version you prefer, default branch should probably  be nightly i guess

mkdir build
cd build/
cmake-gui -S .. -B . #native compiler, configure and generate
make -j5 #or cores + 1 or any number

./bin/kdenlive

sudo make install #optional if you want to install it


I did built this on my Gentoo install successfully without any problem (probably because of I had dependencies installed already).
Idk if this can help but here is a dependency graph of kdenlive v20.12.2 on Gentoo (Many of the packages could be xxxx-dev on ubuntu)
