KDevelop can be downloaded from the KDevelop website in the section Download to find the nearest mirror. At the time of writing, KDevelop version is 1.4. Please read the instructions on the INSTALL file if you want to compile KDevelop.
To compile KDevelop 1.4: you need qt-2.2.3 or higher and kdelibs-2.1beta2. The environment variables QTDIR and KDEDIR should point to those directories.
Don't forget to set up the KDE2 and QT2 paths. The most common errors while using KDevelop come from the environment variables not set up properly. Check in a console by issuing the command 'set' to see all your environment variables. If you have any problem getting KDevelop running, please follow the forum link from the KDevelop website to find the answer of your problem.
If you never used KDevelop before, try to create a new project and to compile it to get used to the interface and the icons.
 | Be careful to have KDevelop set up properly, check the settings in menu Options->KDevelop Setup for the KDE2 and Qt2 paths and Options->Tools for the path to designer. |
A brief section for those you would like to get the last thing available! And KDevelop from CVS is really worth the download and compiled fine on my machine each time I got it. New features are included like building a RPM from your project, the Qt Designer manual is added in the doc, you can create a KDE2 kicker applet and lots of more new exciting features.
