The aim is to run KBlocks without "make install".

What's the problem with make install? it's literally 1 line

1. I prefer clicking Run in an IDE instead of using command line, especially when using debugger. It takes some steps to configure the IDE to also run "make install".
2. I'm too lazy to set up a custom prefix, and I don't like self-compiled applications to interfere with the ones installed from the distro.

this doesn't get you anywhere though, at least you still have themes and the knsrc file that are needed from make install, no?

Standard themes can also be moved into qrc (as the second step). knsrc is optional, it's only required once you open the New Hot Stuff dialog.
