Dear Maintainer,

when I try to install a project from source, I have in the Build console

/home/stefano/projects/kdev-executebrowser.git/build> kdesudo -- make -j4
install
*** Failure: make has failed to start ***

because kdesudo is missing.

Searching where have set kdesudo, I found in project configuration (right mouse
-> Open configuration ...), under "Make" tab, a check "Install as root" who
active a selection whit 3 options:
- kdesu
- kdesudo
- gksu

but all of these are missing.

Is possible to write other, like su, but no prompt is showed for root password.

Leaving blank use kdesu by default.

May the solution be polkit-kde-agent-1?

However the 3 *su* options are obsolete and useless.

For now I must copy the command line and run it into a root konsole.

Thanks.

Stefano
