To start developing with KDevelop, you need to first create a project. To do this, simply go to Project menu and click on "New Project."

Now a dialog appears asking you what kind of project do you want to create.  According to what app you want to develop (e.g. Qt GUI application, pyQt4, KDE app, etc.) select the appropriate option.  For example, if you want to create a pyQt4 app, you would unfold 'pyQt4' and select "pyQt4 GUI Application."

* Quick Code Navigation (Jump to declaration/definition)


Next, you have to enter the application's name in the "Application's name" field.  Afterwards, you have to also set a location for the app where the sources will be stored.

The next page asks you what kind of Version Control System do you want to use. Choose the one you like (and I just remembered I wanted to start learning Git).

The KDevelop project started in 1998 at the University of Potsdam (Germany). The first released 0.1 was released the same year[1].

KDevelop has experienced several rewrites. The first time was with version 3.x by Bernd Gehrmann in 2001[2] and the second time was with version 4.x with a more object-oriented architecture in 2009[3].

The development of KDevelop 5 started in August 2014 as a port of the KDevelop 4 codebase for qt5 and kf5[4]. The custom c++ parser was abandoned in favor of clang and the CMake interpreter was also replaced in favor of using the JSON metadata given by CMake. KDevelop 5 was released in August 2016[5].

Features[6]

  • Support C, C#, C++, CUDO, OpenCL, Qt QML, Javascript, Python and PHP
