I tried installing KDE Connect on my Raspberry Pi 3 with following command...which didn't work.



sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/indicator-kdeconnect
sudo apt update
sudo apt install indicator-kdeconnect


It gave an error " No Package found for ARM based linux machine in repository " in simple words.


So, I went to compile KDE connect from source, but I can't figure out how to compile it (there is no instructions and no ./configure or make file, there is one cmake file, please check the below link)

KDE Connect allows you to connect Android and Linux over Wifi providing many features but i am only interested in clipboard sync. Copy text on Android and Paste on linux directly.


I have also found clipbrd to sync clipboard, but this does so over Internet connection and not over local wifi network like KDE connect. http://www.clipbrd.com/. I am OK with installing chromium extension on my raspberry pi 3.
