rm -rf kColorPicker/build kImageAnnotator/build ksnip/build
mkdir kColorPicker/build kImageAnnotator/build ksnip/build

cd kColorPicker/build

make -j$(nproc) all install
cd ../..

cd kImageAnnotator/build
kColorPicker_DIR=../../kColorPicker/build/cmake cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$PWD

# Will install to /usr/local/bin!
cd ksnip/build
kImageAnnotator_DIR=../../kImageAnnotator/build/cmake kColorPicker_DIR=../../kColorPicker/build/cmake cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local
make -j$(nproc) all
sudo make install

Uninstall those three if you forgot to set CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX, and that it is now littering your system:

rm -rf kColorPicker/build kImageAnnotator/build ksnip/build
mkdir kColorPicker/build kImageAnnotator/build ksnip/build

cd kColorPicker/build
cmake ..
make -j$(nproc) all
sudo cmake -P cmake_install.cmake
cd ../..

cd kImageAnnotator/build
cmake ..
make -j$(nproc) all
sudo cmake -P cmake_install.cmake
cd ../..

cd ksnip/build
cmake ..
make -j$(nproc) all
sudo cmake -P cmake_install.cmake
cd ../..

cd kColorPicker/build
sudo cmake -P cmake_uninstall.cmake
cd ../..

cd kImageAnnotator/build
sudo cmake -P cmake_uninstall.cmake

cd ksnip/build
# sudo cmake -P cmake_uninstall.cmake
sudo cmake -P cmake_install.cmake | cut -d: -f2 | xargs sudo rm -rf
