A way to download all of the required kde dependencies to start working on kde programming?

Question

I've CentOS 6.4 which is running older version of Qt and possibly other such incompatible version components that makes it really difficult to start kde programming on the machine.

Is there a way to download all of the dependencies in one go so that the programming becomes easier?

Any help is appreciated. Thanks people!

Answer 1

1. Download the development packages for packages your system ships with.
2. Find the version of the application you want to play around with.
3. Grab the source for that release from their source control system.
4. Try to compile, install additional missing dependencies you missed in step 1, rinse and repeat until its working.
