I have the following requirements and build requirements listed for the 
libkolab and libkolabxml builds we do, which could perhaps serve as a 
reference:

http://wiki.kolab.org/Requirements_of_and_Build_Requirements_for_libkolab
http://wiki.kolab.org/Requirements_of_and_Build_Requirements_for_libkolabxml

If I recall correctly, the KDE build dependency chain is needed only for the 
tests to be built and hopefully succeed; I believe we have set cmake up so 
that it looks for the KDE PIM libs headers the tests need, and if they are not 
found, does not build the tests.

Christian Mollekopf is the lead developer (in CC), and will be able to shed 
some more light on it.

We'll want a cmake clause to test for QtTest (not just Qt4, probably using an 
additional set of conditionals in tests/CMakeLists.txt), and a warning stating 
the tests are not being built / not being executed like we do for the build 
dependencies for the tests right now.

For the platforms we've built libkolabxml/libkolab so far, QtTest is just part 
of the qt-devel package, which is why I suppose we have missed this as a 
separate build requirement and ended up not listing it in the READMEs.

Kind regards,
