This chapter did not provide instructions for all of the available packages in the KDE Software Compilation (KDE Gear). The included packages were selected based on what most people would want to use on a standard desktop computer.
For a full list of available packages, have a look on the KDE6 servers at https://download.kde.org/stable/release-service/24.12.0/src.

Note
Some packages will require additional dependencies. To determine what dependencies are needed, run from the top of the source tree:
cmake -W no-dev -LH .
Note that this creates some files in the top of the source directory, so that it is better to reextract a clean source before proceeding to the build.
Most of these packages can be built with the standard KDE6 instructions:
mkdir build &&
cd build &&
cmake -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$KF6_PREFIX \
-D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
-D BUILD_TESTING=OFF \
-W no-dev .. &&
make
And as the root user:
make install
