Thanks. It would have been cool to fix the build failure that I
mentioned though ;-)
I just pushed a commit that fixes the build for me. I wanted to check
if it still works if Baloo is found, but after I cloned the Baloo
repository, CMake told me about five required dependencies that I need
to build first, and I don't really have that much time now, so I just
pushed it. Please check if it still builds with Baloo and fix if it
doesn't. Thanks.
Cheers,
Frank
