Use generate headers instead of having them stored in the repository. Figure out how relative paths are forwarded around, there were some weird things. Stop installing plasma header files in the KDE/ prefix.
Plasma Framework
The plasma framework provides the foundations that can be used to build a primary user interface, from graphical to logical components.
Introduction
The plasma framework is made by a library component and a runtime component:
-
libplasma: this is a library for the business logic, it manages: ** rendering of SVG themes ** loading of files from a certain filesystem structure: packages ** data access: dataengines ** loading of the plugin structure of the workspace: containments and applets
-
QML script engine: given the data provided by an Applet or a Containment, it maps to loading of an actual QML representation of it
-
QML components: sets of QML components to provide a widget set, and to access to libplasma components, such as SVG themes and dataengines.
-
Runtime environment: the plasma-shell executable. The runtime that will load the actual workspace, it's completely controlled by QML, by itself doesn't have any UI.
