Hi,

I'm setting myself up as a new contributor (Have some ideas for Dolphin and maybe KBackup), but I can't get the initial setup to finish. Being a total newbie to KDE building, I don't yet know to tackle the messages I'm getting.

I'm running through the instructions at https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved/development and running "kdesrc-build frameworks" )step 6 of 6) fails with...

Building kfilemetadata from frameworks (56/88)
Fetching remote changes to kfilemetadata
Merging kfilemetadata changes from branch kf5
No changes to kfilemetadata source code, but proceeding to build anyway.
Compiling... failed (after 2 seconds)

kfilemetadata didn't build, stopping here.

<<< PACKAGES FAILED TO BUILD >>>
kfilemetadata - file:///home/phands/kde/src/log/2023-02-03-01/kfilemetadata/build.log

Important notification for kfilemetadata:
kfilemetadata has failed to build 15 times.


Your logs are saved in file:///home/phands/kde/src/log/2023-02-03-01

Looking in the log file leaves me unsure of what to do next. I don't know if I've missed some dependency or if something else is wrong, so I'm asking for advice. The log file is fairly short - only 177 lines - and the last few lines are....

I tried just building dolphin, but it fails at the same point.
