It is possible, but you need to start kdebugdialog in the extended mode:
kdebugdialog --fullmode

Well, its a warning. It warns you that KDevelop apparently does not
understand your buildsystem correctly. I don't know wether this happens
with custom makefiles where it would be quite normal to see this and
hence should not trigger a warning, but for cmake-projects seeing this
has to be considered a bug that needs reporting.

Hmm, that one uses KTextBrowser and kate for its content, so I'd start
to look there.
