Description:

KDevelop is a plugin based IDE that currently supports C++ and PHP, different build tools, integrated documentation formats, integrated revision control systems and dozens of other neat tools. All these are plugins and there are plenty examples on how to add your own plugins.

It should also compile on Mac OSX (PowerPC), MS Windows and Solaris, but these platforms are sadly unmaintained. Help welcome!

Build tools: CMake, custom makefiles, generic scripts. (Experimental: QMake, Autotools, ...)

Integrated Documentation: QtHelp, CMake, PHP.net

Revision Control Systems: CVS, Git (KDev 4.1), SVN, (Experimental: Mercurial)

Development Support with code completion, as-you-type-reports, context browsing etc. pp:
- Anything in C++/C , e.g.: Qt, gtk, wxWindows, superwabba, GBA, ...
- Anything in PHP.

"Simple" language support for tons of other languages with the feature set found in Kate.

Other plugins: console, debugger (gdb), find-in-files, classviewer, snippets, external scripts, ...

For features, screenshots and other goodies, visit the website.

Hi.

Usual I use emacs + gdb, but many times kdevelop have been useful and fundamental.
Without kdevelop probably I would not be ' ' ' survival ' ' ' to the beginnings with qt/kde/kmail and a my small project would not be born (with my deep dissatisfaction).
Thanks.

Regards,
Gdb

Great work! This ide, at least for c/c++ is a very good tool, almost commercial level.
The only things I miss should be improved are code completion and the debugger (I haven't used it much, but the little I did, I found it very improvable).
As a general IDE, it's great.

Try the new KDevelop HEAD. It's code completion features and it's debugger have been improved.

+1. A Good code completion is mandatory to speed up the development (especially when you don't know the api by heart!)

BTW, do we have code completion for the python or ruby bindings?

I updated to Kdevelop 3.1.1-3 on a plain Suse 9.1. Kdevelop does not work.
I downloaded the special Suse 9.1 RPM package from the Kdevelop homepage.

Seems that other KDE libraries have to be updated as well. Remembers me to to the MS DLL hell.

undefined symbol: _ZN11KMdiMainFrm16setToolviewStyleEi

That error message is associated with a bad .so file.
Delete that file and it will work fine.

This RPM is built against KDE-3.3.x and cannot be used on KDE-3.2.x.

It is a bug of the SuSE package management system if it lets you install this RPM on KDE-3.2.x

I'm a bit of a newbie. Can you give me a clue as to which '.so' file you deleted to fix this problem, or how you tracked down the offending critter :)

Thanks

Same here. I just updated on factory
9.1 with kdevelop 3.1 to 3.1.1 and I
get the same missing symbol:
_ZN11KMdiMainFrm16setToolviewStyleEi
I tried the rpm from Suse and Kdevelop
and they both break.

Does anybody test this stuff?

adymo

KDevelop team is not responsible for packaging. We only make sure the source code compiles and works.
But anyway, when you update kdevelop rpms for SuSE make sure you update all other KDE packages also.
Notably, it's a good idea to update kdelibs, kdebase and kdesdk together with KDevelop.

I've got the same problem. I've tried the version 2.xxx,... same problem.

I think there's a general problem with suse9.1

rmcruz

Not a Suse problem. Happens to me too in Mandrake 10.0. I guess it's because I still have 3.2...

amilcar

Yes it is possible and we have a document that helps you to do it:

Would it be possible to implement a POV-Ray feature with synthax highliting, a render button (like compile for C++) and synthax completition

Its a bit strange that the search dialog has case-sensitiv as default.
And that it has another hotkey as in kate itself (at least in german).

KDevelop is getting better and better...

[running kdevelop 3.1.0]
One thing I did not find is a call of lrelease and lupdate.
And the menues are a little bit too big. Maybe it would be nice if you can disable some options generally and not per project. But maybe this is only something I did not find in this real big Framework.

KDevelop hangs up, when I try to debug "Hello, world" when printf() should be issued. When I kill child GDB process, I can see "Hello, world" in "Application" tab. What is a debugger, which hangs up when debug?
FreeBSD 4.10-STABLE, KDE 3.2.3, QT 3.3.2, GCC 2.95.4. All plagins in KDevelop checked out (but default also)

amilcar

Printf is a very strange function. Check the FAQ, forum, and Bug database.
All the links are on the website. There is information in one of those on how to get it to work. AFAIK it is NOT a KDevelop bug. It is (if I remember correctly) a GDB issue.

wondering if modeling tools are available on kdevelop?

are they being developed in the future?

BlueLightning

If you mean UML, check out Umbrello:

http://uml.sourceforge.net

This is already part of the kdesdk package.

teatime

Please explain what you mean by "modelling tools"?

Ansur

I assume he means UML tools.

total crap. Crashes 9 out of 10 times. Skip this for a few months until they fic this hunk of junk.

Shame, would have enjoyed using it.

teatime

Bugreport numbers, please?

It hardly ever crash on my machine, and when it does I tend to fix it.

I can't fix crashes I don't know about and neither can any of the other devs.

Well written informative bug reports, with proper backtraces if applicable, helps development. Whiny trashtalk only serves to discourage people.

sarwaz

Hi,

of course Mr mikemcginn is an asshole, but I have to agree that kdevelop is quite unstable. Even if it is version 3.1 it still crashes way too often to be released as final.
I think that this release is the way to go since according to the changes it solves 120 bugs while not adding significant new features.

Being a software development tool I think that the instability is the most irritating thing. Your users are coders, therefore if the IDE is not rock solid they are going always to complain in rude ways :).

So my advice is just that you keep solving bugs without adding any new feature (unless critical) until you get a solid product.

regards,

Manuel.
