Welcome to KDevelop!

Specifications

| ### Specifications ### KDevelop is designed to be an integrated development environment (IDE) on UNIX systems that allows the developer a maximum in terms of flexibility and as such is integrating the functionality of many other applications that are commonly used by developers on UNIX. It makes use of the GCC C/C++ Compiler, the GNU make and GNU autoconf/automake utilities available for most UNIX platforms. For KDE and Qt Development, projects generated with KDevelop automatically apply to the KDE 2.1 Desktop standards, make use of the /admin setup directory also used by the KDE project to maintain the main KDE sourcetree modules and as such developers can update their projects easily through KDE to enable new requirements and extended OS support on other platforms. By integrating the use of TrollTech´s Qt Designer, developers have an easy time creating and implementing Graphical User Interfaces (GUI) from within KDevelop. KDevelop also manages/requires:
