I also just compiled 8.1.1 from tarball, and it produced the same 
files.  However, if running cmake on the tarball of libalkimia found the 
necessary files, then why can't they be found when the search is 
transitive, initiated by compiling KMM from git master? Doesn't 5.1 call 
for the same files when using webengine instead of webkit?

What I now wonder is whether something changed in the cmake files in 
KMyMoney master branch which alters something about the search path, 
especially with a nested cmake file.  My next effort will be capturing 
the logs of cmake for both 5.1 and master to see if I can find any 
relevant differences.

Curiouser and curiouser, said Alice.
