Since about more than 50 ui_*.h files seem to be needed in this process
I dived again into the build system.  I dropped some comment into d/rules
(in Git git://git.debian.org/git/debian-med/ball.git)

	## Uhmmm, seems we need to do this for all UI files mentioned in
	##   source/VIEW/DIALOGS/sources.cmake
	## but I really hope some cmake expert might be able to find a clue

	## Somehow the code
	##   ADD_BALL_UIFILES("VIEW/DIALOGS" "${UI_LIST}")
	## needs to be called before the build code below can be started

which basically tries to describe what needs to happen but my cmake
knowledge is to rudimentary to know how to approach this.  If nobody has
any idea I'd try some script hacking around the cmake input file and try
to do what needs to be done to create the missing files.

Kind regards

       Andreas.
