[QGIS-Developer] Queries on building QGIS 3.

[Ben Hur Pintor]

Hi all! I built QGIS master (2a960c5) using the instructions from (a)
https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/blob/master/INSTALL supplemented by (b)
https://www.lutraconsulting.co.uk/blog/2017/08/06/qgis3d-build/ because I
wanted to try the new 3D features. My machine runs on Xubuntu 16.04. The
build works fine but I noticed a few things.

1.) Plugins are unavailable when running QGIS from ./output/bin/qgis of the
build directory. The Settings tab of "Manage and Install Plugins" says "No
Python support detected thus no settings available." Is this normal? I've
only tried building QGIS recently so I don't know if it is.

2.) After doing a ninja install, running qgis from {$HOME}/apps/bin fails
because it can't find the shared libraries that I used in (b). I tried
making simlinks to the said libraries to (b) but to no avail. Is there an
updated/better way to build QGIS with 3D support on Xubuntu 16.04 or should
I stick to running from the build directory?

3.) What's the update or plan for the Processing -> Commander function in
QGIS 3? I can't seem to find it in my build.

Thank you in advance. Cheers!
