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.

Hi everyone!
As we know, there is no support for KDE5 in any of the EL distros. I
hope, that a "kdesrc-build" script - is the fastest way to get all I
need. Is anyone already doing any work on this?
I'm trying to build KDE, for Centos 8, but it still no success. I've
done some dirty hacks, like installing packages from Fedora 29 and
Centos 7, QT5 has been built, but the most important broken component
- is kwindowsystem. It can't find libxcb-devel, even though it is
installed.
Thanks in advance!
