I could just copy that first sentence, though my approach was using a
KVM based VM for windows. I succeeded yesterday in building KMyMoney
with LibOFX support again and also made changes so that the clientuid
support is picked up. Very strange results between the cmake run on
Windows and Linux.

Now there's one thing left for me to do: finally fix the strange filename
leadin of //C/what-ever-path. I thought I already replaced it, but apparently
it is still used in other places as well.

Now that I have the build environment at hand, I can start looking and comparing.

Regarding your question: this craft build system is tricky and not so well
documented. I look at other blueprints to figure out what they do. For your
question I found the digikam one interesting, which shows how to setup
cmake definitions:

   self.subinfo.options.configure.args += f" -DENABLE_QWEBENGINE=ON"

Ours might have a different name. Hope that helps to get started.
