Description Cyrille Berger 2014-07-18 17:34:28 UTC 
Step to reproduce:
* make sure cmake is *not* installed
* open a cmake based project

Result:
* get two cryptic error dialog:
 - Could not load project management plugin KDevCMakeManager.
 - project importing plugin (KDevCMakeManager) does not support the IProjectFileManager interface.

Expected result:
* error dialog mentioning that cmake is not installed

Yep. We've also seen reports from Ubuntu users, where CMake is not pulled in when installing KDevelop.

This is quite confusing and needs to be fixed. (It'd also make sense to ask the user for installing the cmake package via package manager if needed).

Hi I'd love to work on this bug is it still active?

I thought I had reworded the message at some point, but just check if it still looks weird to you.
