Matlads: added some more dev packages to build kde 4.10 on debian sid

= Introduction =

This page details installation of KDE SC 4 build requirements on any recent Kubuntu or Debian system. That is, if you want to build KDE SC 4 Platform, the required (and some strongly recommended) packages are installed with the commands on this page.

== Debian Source Builds The Easy Way ==

For building parts of KDE on Debian using the Debian source packages see [[/Source|Debian the easy way]].

== KDE 4.x ==
Install these for any KDE 4.x release, then add specific packages for point releases as below. Then add any optional packages you like, as described below.
