Let's just start with a simple example for an application, let's name it, well, kFoo. The CMakeLists.txt below gives the project a name, so that the project files for KDevelop/XCode/MSVC will have a good name. It will then find the KDE 4 installation on the system and setup the required include directories. The list of source files will be put into a variable named mySources, which will be automoced and then used to build an executable from it. The executable and its desktop file will finally be installed. 

project(kfoo)

find_package(KDE4 REQUIRED)

include_directories( ${KDE4_INCLUDES} )

set(mySources main.cpp mywidget.cpp mypart.cpp)

kde4_automoc( ${mySources} )

kde4_add_executable(kfoo ${mySources})

target_link_libraries(kfoo ${KDE4_KDEUI_LIBS} ${KDE4_KPARTS_LIBS} )

install_targets( /bin kfoo)
install_files( ${XDG_APPS_DIR} FILES kfoo.desktop)
