Status cmake/buildsystem

[Alexander Neundorf]

Hi,

here's an update on the status on the buildsystem side from my POV:

* getting stuff into cmake

Done (almost).
We contributed really a lot to the upcoming cmake 2.8.8 release (counting 
Stephen, Yury, Modestas, Rolf and me as KDE-related, we sum up to 168 commits 
for 2.8.8rc1)
The only thing left is improving the export-targets feature in cmake so one 
set of exports can depend on another set of exports, i.e. it doesn't have to 
be all in one file.

2.8.8 should have everything so that we can start to document how to do stuff 
properly using the features available in 2.8.8, and stay with this 
documentation for the first frameworks release.
We may need to require 2.8.9 due to the one issue which is left, but this will 
not change how e.g. Config files will be generated etc.
IOW, I really want to settle on the feature set which will be in 2.8.8 with 
that one exception.
Otherwise I can never start to write docs or examples or work on the 
buildsystem in kdelibs etc.


* cmake support in Qt5
AFAICT this should be mostly done. Stephen does a great job there, there 
should be only some fixes here and there left to do.


* buildsystem stuff in extra-cmake-modules and kdelibs

Still quite some work to do. From my side this was pushed back since getting 
stuff into cmake was more urgent.
So I'll be able to spend time actually working on KDE in the next weeks 
finally.



Stephen, Yury, any additions or corrections ?
