No to speak about KDE as a whole, but even minor packages have similar, trivial problems
with cmake
(qt not found, insufficient flags transferred to the linker etc), which I do not know how
to solve.
As cmake does not respect system environment variables, I don't know how to set it
up.
Setting LIBS
environment variable does not help.

We do provide Autotools in parallel with CMake, although I have been
unable to repair Autotools for arts and a couple other modules. If you
would like to see if you can fix Autotools for arts, etc. I would
definitely appreciate the help! People, cmake
is just a barrel of pain and nothing else. I have multiple
packages abandoned only because they use cmake.
Honestly, I have had may of the same problems you mention with Autotools,
and personally feel that Autotools is a barrel of pain compared with
CMake. I would hazard a guess that any project of this complexity will
have build system issues regardless of the underlying build file generator
in use.
