 b[No configuration file is present.]
 
 kdesrc-build requires a configuration file to select which KDE software modules
 to build, what options to build them with, the path to install to, etc.
 
 kdesrc-build looks for its configuration in the file `kdesrc-buildrc' in
 whatever directory kdesrc-build is run from.
 
 If no such file exists, kdesrc-build tries to use `~/.kdesrc-buildrc' (note the
 leading `.')
 
 A sample configuration suitable for KDE 4 software is included at the file
 `kdesrc-buildrc-sample' which can be copied to the correct location and then
 edited.
 
 KDE Frameworks 5 users can use the `kdesrc-buildrc-kf5-sample' file which can
 be copied to the correct location and then edited.
 
 In either case b[once the configuration file is setup to your liking], you
 should run:
 b[kdesrc-build --metadata-only]
 
 to download needed information about the KDE source repositories and then:
 b[kdesrc-build --pretend]
 
 to preview what kdesrc-build will do.
