Alex, Steve, we need to resolve this compatibility issue soon in preparation for the 3.0 release. IIUC this KDE change: Only create and install man pages if using CMake < 3.0 http://quickgit.kde.org/?p=kdelibs.git&a=commitdiff&h=804d3539 was needed to avoid breaking the build when --help-custom-modules does not generate the manual page. This means existing KDE releases will not build successfully without this patch. In order to more gracefully degrade behavior I've made this change: cmake: Implement placeholder --help-custom-modules compatibility http://cmake.org/gitweb?p=cmake.git;a=commitdiff;h=b1772946 Now it generates the requested file without error but the content is just a placeholder explaining that the functionality was dropped. It still produces a warning of course. If you want CMake 3.0 to do anything better than this then please work on the minimal re-implementation ASAP. Much of the logic can be extracted from old versions and refactored into an isolated compatibility implementation.
