I have been able to get cmake to work for frameworks branch. For Fedora 20,
I followed http://copr.fedoraproject.org/coprs/dvratil/kde-frameworks/ to get
the necessary packages. But I added the --skip-broken flag with yum to get
rid of problems arising from the conflicting packages.

But now I am getting the following error wrt to kde_file.h:

/home/sbairagy/kde/src/kstars/kstars/skycomponents/starcomponent.cpp:49:22:
fatal error: kde_file.h: No such file or directory
 #include <kde_file.h>
                      ^
compilation terminated.
/home/sbairagy/kde/src/kstars/kstars/skycomponents/deepstarcomponent.cpp:39:22:
fatal error: kde_file.h: No such file or directory
 #include <kde_file.h>
                      ^
compilation terminated.

I can't figure out what I might be missing here.
