I receive these results when I run make after using cmake to configure/build.
# make
/usr/bin/cmake -H/user/Downloads/kexi-3.2.0/cmake -B/user/BUILD --check-build-system CMakeFiles/Makefile.cmake 0
/usr/bin/cmake -E cmake_progress_start /user/BUILD/CMakeFiles /user/BUILD/CMakeFiles/progress.marks
make -f CMakeFiles/Makefile2 all
make[1]: Entering directory '/user/BUILD'
make[1]: Nothing to be done for 'all'.
make[1]: Leaving directory '/user/BUILD'
/usr/bin/cmake -E cmake_progress_start /user/BUILD/CMakeFiles 0

Any suggestions

Hi. "Nothing to be done for 'all'" means the build dir contents are up to date already. KEXI builds are cmake-based so after 99.9% of changes minimal rebuild is performed automatically for the changed section. Small exceptions may be for the .desktop files for plugins; their changes are not always detected -- but we're slowly replacing them with JSON files.

It might help if you specify your original cmake call that used to create the build dir. https://community.kde.org/Calligra/Building/3 contains approximate instructions on how to build KEXI. In fact with exception to dependencies, we build KEXI same way as other KDE apps and libraries.
