What is KDevelop ?
- KDevelop
- is a free, open source IDE (Integrated Development Environment) for MS Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, Solaris and FreeBSD. It is a feature-full, plugin extensible IDE for C/C++ and other programming languages. It is based on KDevPlatform, and the KDE and Qt libraries and is under development since 1998.
- KDevPlatform
- is a free, open source set of libraries that can be used as a foundation for IDE-like programs. It is programing-language independent, and is planned to be used by programs like: KDevelop, Quanta, Kile, KTechLab ... etc.
Versions
- KDevelop4
- A major rewrite based on Qt4/KDE4 with a powerful language architecture. Under heavy development, recommended for C++ or PHP development with CMake or custom Makefiles as their build system. Recommended for Linux (all other OS might work, but are not tested yet).
- KDevelop3
- Very stable and mature IDE based on Qt3/KDE3 with support for many programing languages and build systems. No longer under development.

Really rapid C++ development with KDevelop4
Code Assistants When developing for a statically typed language like C++, there usually is quite a bit of redundancy during the development, especially when creating a completely new piece of code.

KDevelop4: Creating a Qt slot, the cool way

KDevelop4: Automatic include-directives and forward-declarations
Missing Include Completion C++ is a great and powerful programming-language. Yet it has the downside against some other languages, that you always have to deal with include-directives or forward-declarations before you can use a class. This is a factor that often motivates me not to create too many...Source: Zwabel's Weblog | 4 Feb 2009 | 2:09 am
