This might explain it. I just installed kdevelop on Ubuntu 15, not
sure what version it is using. I also have never used kdevelop before
so I was not aware that it had built in support for CMake. I saw it in
the list of generators so I naturally assumed I had to use it. Note
that Eclipse is in kind of the same boat, as far as which versions it
supports and its not immediately obvious.
