I managed to build it on Solus.
I needed some aditional libs besides system.devel: qt5-base-devel, python-qtpy, mesalib-devel

Damn shame, because it can do some things some people need that Meld just doesn't do...

Can we reconsider the inclusion of kdiff3? Recent tarballs: https://download.kde.org/stable/kdiff3

KDiff3 has been a KDE project for a while now, that Sourceforge link is very old!
See - https://kde.org/applications/en/development/org.kde.kdiff3
I have some packaging for it, I'll push it to my Gitlab - https://gitlab.com/clivejo/kdiff3 when I manage to get a stable connection!

Just a quick note that there's already a diff tool for KDE in Solus called kompare.
Check it out.

@ermo kompare is a different beast. kdiff3 is a 3-way editor like meld, whereas kompare is a 2-way editor, useful to generate patch files. I'd use kdiff3 in place of meld for git mergetool.
