Not really something to do with kdevelop, but yes moc does not seem to be
run or the resulting file is not
included into the plugin.

You should use MODULE here not SHARED, since a plugin is not a shared
library and usually doesn't get a soversion set or the version-symlinks.

More importantly though, since you use the basic CMake commands instead of
the KDE wrappers, you need to add the moc-step yourself. You should use
QT4_WRAP_CPP to do that and include the generated files into your plugin.
This also means you need to remove a #include "kspellplugin.moc" in your
cpp file if it exists.
