Trouble compiling KMM 5.0 and Master Branch on new Fedora 29 system

I figured it out. After trying many manual and script based builds I
started to see a pattern. It only failed to build when it was in the
directory that my script created with a date/time stamp. I've been using
this script for 10+ years without a problem. The download directory names
looked like this:

kmymoney-MASTER-2018.11.12-13:15:37

Simply changing the : to . solve the cmake problem.

kmymoney-MASTER-2018.11.12-13.15.37

Sometimes I really hate computers.

Thanks for all of your help Jack.
