KCoreAddons does not install most of its headers on my system

[Frank Reininghaus]

Hello everyone,

I tried to set up a separate Qt5+KF5 build in release mode.
Unfortunately, I did not succeed :-(

The first package that fails to build (even if I repeat the
kdesrc-build process many times) is kservice. The comiler reports

[ 30%] Building CXX object
src/CMakeFiles/KF5Service.dir/services/kserviceaction.cpp.o
In file included from
/home/kde-frameworks-release/kde/src/frameworks/kservice/src/services/kmimetypetrader.h:23:0,
                 from
/home/kde-frameworks-release/kde/src/frameworks/kservice/src/services/kmimetypetrader.cpp:20:
/home/kde-frameworks-release/kde/src/frameworks/kservice/src/services/kservice.h:27:28:
fatal error: kpluginfactory.h: No such file or directory
 #include <kpluginfactory.h>
                            ^

I then found that kpluginfactory should actually be installed by
kcoreaddons, but that does not happen here. The install.log of
kcoreaddons looks like this:

# kdesrc-build running: 'gmake' 'install/fast'
# from directory: /home/kde-frameworks-release/kde/build/frameworks/kcoreaddons

It looks like it installs nothing that is in subdirectories of
kcoreaddons/src/lib/.

It still works nicely with my "kde-frameworks" user. The only change
between both builds (except that one is based on a more recent Qt5
checkout) that I am aware of is that I replaced "debug" by "release"
as the build type.

I then reverted the debug->release change, cleared the kcoreaddons
build directory and re-ran kdesrc-build, but it does not help.

The CMake log does not look suspicious to me: http://paste.kde.org/p0ccahzhh

I tried to understand the CMakeLists.txt, but I'm not really familiar
with CMake and the ECM stuff, so I haven't found out what the problem
is yet.

Does anyone have an idea what I could do to investigate and possibly
fix the problem?

Thanks and best regards,
Frank
