This appears to be happening because kmouth is using the
KDEFrameworkCompilerSettings CMake module, which is only meant to be used
by modules that are part of the KDE Framework (as opposed to KDE apps
outside the framework), and has some assumptions that are only true for
KDE Framework modules.
In particular, since a few months ago, KDEFrameworkCompilerSettings assumes
that all the modules it is used in will have a ./metainfo.yaml describing
the project, and reports an error if you try to build on a platform not
listed as supported in that file:
https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/extra-cmake-modules/-/merge_requests/245
KDE Framework modules *do* have a ./metainfo.yaml, but kmouth does not,
leading to this build failure.
Newer versions of kmouth use KDECompilerSettings instead of
KDEFrameworkCompilerSettings, which presumably does not have this
metainfo.yaml check:
https://invent.kde.org/accessibility/kmouth/-/commit/cfb889ab38befe1e378d92ab9915aed14ec5843b
I hope that applying that change (or upgrading to a newer upstream release)
would resolve this FTBFS.
