Hi Mike,
Yes, kdesrc-build is the officially-supported method of building KDE 
software from source yourself (i.e. if you're not a distro packager). If 
there is ever an EPEL or COPR repo for KDE stuff on CentOS 8, that would 
probably work too.

If you're using kdesrc-build and kwindowsystem can't find libxcb-devel 
despite it being installed, we'll need more info to debug, such as the 
full failure logs.

This will probably be a fairly interactive process, so you might get 
better help asking in the #kde-devel room on Freenode IRC or Matrix.

Nate
