If someone really wants to debug and build cmake scripts he should not use any build script and listen to your recommendation. Because you are concerned with getting the cmake build system right. mpyne and i are mainly concerned about getting potential new developers up to speed with as few obstacles as possible. The dream is up and running a kde from trunk in half a day to one day (because of the compile times mainly). That's why i guess both kdesrc-build and build-tool both will set both of those variables forever. I don't want to lose even one potential dev because (s)he is unable to build kde. Ever. If that means we do not discover all cmake glitches ... whatever ... i don't care. The way build-tool is setup exposed enough cmake problems (which i fixed when seen) so i am not willing to experiment there with my public recipe. Mike
