Ah, now I understand. In your original mail it wasn't quite clear which
text was from you and which from the cmake run :) To fix this I suggest
to talk to kde-buildsystem at kde.org or file a bug on bugs.kde.org. The
cmake module that prints this is in kdelibs so KDevelop cannot do
anything about that.
