FWIW, I have managed to build a debug version of kdelibs master, on Apple O=
S X 10.7.5 (Lion).
I guess the Nepomuk dependency versions have not changed since KDE 4.12 and=
 the build
was able to pick up already-installed Nepomuk dependencies.

I need to do more building, I think, to get my games to run properly (e.g. =
build libkdegames),
but I noticed that KGoldrunner was getting error-log messages about not usi=
ng the default
Oxygen theme, whatever that is.

I thought Oxygen was a palette and the artists for KGoldrunner certainly us=
ed the Oxygen palette
to create icons, but they went into the hicolor directory tree.

Yeah, but where/how (in the code or the build instructions) does it get tha=
t icon?
And what does the build have to do (on Apple OS X) to pick up the Oxygen ap=
p icons
and put them in an ICNS file?

Is http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/Icons still current? Or is=
 there some
new way for an application programmer to provide icons?

Cheers, Ian W.
