I guess there are some dependencies missing. See https://umbrello.kde.org/installation.php#install-source-code-linux for further details. 

Also it is required to see all messages cmake displays on running because it may indicates what's going wrong.

Here is the complete cmake output after deleting the sources and extracting them again:

I didn't see anything unusual in the CMakeOutput.log file. The only thing I did differently was to use the command for compiling with Qt5/KF5. I have Qt 5.8.0, so that should work.

My CMake version is 3.5.1, BTW.

The missing macro is located in the ki18n development package which is part of kf5 (see https://cgit.kde.org/ki18n.git/tree/cmake/KF5I18NMacros.cmake). This indicates that you have no development packages of kf5 libraries installed. See https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Build_from_source/Install_the_dependencies for more information about the required dependencies.

Ralf, thank you for your patience, but the issue seems to be more than that. I have kf5-dev packages already installed on my system. These are:

libkf5i18n-data
libkf5i18n-dev
libkf5i18n5
libkf5i18n5-dbg

Also, I have qtbase5-dev installed.

Still, cmake cannot kind the macro "ki18n_wrap_ui" anywhere.

Is it possible that Ubuntu is putting this somewhere where cmake cannot find it? I have Qt installed in a directory under my home directory, not in /usr or /usr/local ... I did find many Qt header files which make use of that macro.

Shouold be "find" ... not "kind"...

https://askubuntu.com/questions/912767/install-latest-umbrello-version mentions some packages required for compiling umbrello on ubuntu. May be this helps.

Sadly, it didn't help.

I have ki18n installed here:
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/cmake/KF5I18n

In that folder, I have this:
KF5I18nConfig.cmake
KF5I18nConfigVersion.cmake
KF5I18NMacros.cmake
KF5I18nTargets.cmake
KF5I18nTargets-debian.cmake
kf5i18nuic.cmake
ts-pmap-compile.py

CMake should be able to find it, IMHO ...

I following the steps mentioned at the first answer on a 16.04 vm. At step 6 I got a list of required but not installed packages. I did install then and umbrello build afterwards out the box.

I tried that too, but got this when I tried to download the sources:

OK, after finding a Debian .deb package of umbrello with the latest version, I saw that I have all of the dependencies installed, but the versions are not new enough. I will probably not be able to upgrade because it would break other things on my system. Maybe I need to upgrade Ubuntu to 17.04, but I have 16.04 LTS which has longer support.

I am very confused about the way KDE programs are built and installed because it is so different from Ubuntu/Debian packaging. Most things I build from source use autotools, which I find much easier to follow if some dependency isn't installed. I remember the trouble I had trying to get kdenlive to work. It isn't much fun!

Dear Bug Submitter,

This bug has been in NEEDSINFO status with no change for at least 15 days. Please provide the requested information as soon as possible and set the bug status as REPORTED. Due to regular bug tracker maintenance, if the bug is still in NEEDSINFO status with no change in 30 days, the bug will be closed as RESOLVED > WORKSFORME due to lack of needed information.

For more information about our bug triaging procedures please read the wiki located here: https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Bug_triaging

If you have already provided the requested information, please set the bug status as REPORTED so that the KDE team knows that the bug is ready to be confirmed.

Thank you for helping us make KDE software even better for everyone!

In the meantime, I have upgraded my system to Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS and have not yet tried to install or build Umbrello on my system. So perhaps this should be closed now?

There is a snap package for umbrello at https://snapcraft.io/umbrello, which provides distribution independent installation.
