Solution

kdesrc-build — Easily build KDE components from its source repositories. More information: <https://manned.org/man/kdesrc-build>.

Initialize kdesrc-build:

kdesrc-build --initial-setup

Compile a KDE component and its dependencies from source:

kdesrc-build {{component_name}}

Compile a component without updating its local code and without compiling its dependencies:

kdesrc-build --no-src --no-include-dependencies {{component_name}}

Refresh the build directories before compiling:

kdesrc-build --refresh-build {{component_name}}

Resume compilation from a specific dependency:

kdesrc-build --resume-from {{dependency_component}} {{component_name}}

Run a component with a specified executable name:

kdesrc-build --run --exec {{executable_name}} {{component_name}}

Build all configured components:

kdesrc-build

Use system libraries in place of a component if it fails to build:

kdesrc-build --no-stop-on-failure {{component_name}}
