Problems building dcopserver on windows/msvc2005

[Michael Biebl]

Hi all,

when compiling trunk/KDE/kdelibs on windows with cmake/nmake/msvc2005
the build fails with this error message:

Looking at the CMakeLists.txt file in kdelibs/dcop I think that I
should correctly read:
===================================================================

-kde4_add_kdeinit_executable( dcopserver ${dcopserver_KDEINIT_SRCS})
+kde4_add_kdeinit_executable(kdeinit_dcopserver ${dcopserver_KDEINIT_SRCS})

 target_link_libraries(kdeinit_dcopserver  ${QT_QTCORE_LIBRARY} DCOP
${KDEWIN32_LIBRARIES})

But if I make this change, cmake complains:
CMake Error: Attempt to add link library "kdeinit_dcopserver" to
target "dcopserver" which is not built by this project.

Can anyone explain what is going wrong here? All other modules of
kdelibs build just fine.

Cheers,
Michael

P.S.:
Wouldn't it make sense to include the cmake directory (or at least
parts of it) as external reference? E.g. changes to
cmake/modules/KDE4Macros.cmake would then be available to all kde
packages (kdelibs/kdebase/...).
P.P.S:
Is there a list which packages have already been "cmakeified" and
where work is still needed?
