I can vouch however. I have almost exclusively been building with
cmake and it has worked like a charm! :) there may be some small
problems with it, but I have not noticed any. In fact we recently just
got a patch in for kdeartwork from Fat-Zer, so there is still active
progress on it.

Well the how to build page should provide good guidance.
http://www.trinitydesktop.org/wiki/bin/view/Developers/HowToBuild. The
section on cmake should be accurate, just make sure to double check
your paths. It is key to keep everything together, so I suggest using
our standard /opt/trinity as install prefix.

Excited for the release,
