The last changes you have made regarding this seem to have broken the
build. I cannot compile from scratch, due to errors on
kmymoneysettings.
First it was when building dialogs, then reports, etc.

If it is of any help, here is the sentence I run for a scratch
compile. (plus sudo make uninstall)


sudo rm -Rf * && cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr
-DKDE4_BUILD_TESTS=on -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=DebugFull && make -j5 && make
-j5 && sudo make install && make test
