           Summary: kdepimlibs is too hard to build
           Product: Akonadi
           Version: 4.5
          Platform: Unlisted Binaries
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: vkrause at kde.org
        ReportedBy: zander at kde.org

The cmake build system in kdepimlibs is being very unclear about why akonadi
doesn't build sometimes.

-- The following REQUIRED packages could NOT be located on your system.
-- You must install these packages before continuing.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
   * Nepomuk  <http://www.kde.org>
     The Nepomuk libraries
     Nepomuk is required to build the Akonadi libraries.


This is not very helpful as nepomuk *is* installed just fine.
A bit further up I notice;
-- Could NOT find Nepomuk  (missing:  SOPRANO_PLUGIN_RAPTORPARSER_FOUND
SOPRANO_PLUGIN_REDLANDBACKEND_FOUND)

No clue what that means.
Please be clear in the error messsaging and provide suggestions what to do
next.

There are applications (like koffice) that depend on kdepimlibs building.  Its
too hard now.

I hear that there is a requirement of at least one backend, which is really
unneeded for a set of libraries that applications that don't even use akonadi
depend on. Please move that dependency check to kdepim instead of placing it in
a module that builds a lot more than just akonadi.
