Is there a kdevelop version that i can install on windows?

Question

is there any other than using Cygwin? thanks!

Answer 1

I've installed kdevelop on win7, using emerge: http://techbase.kde.org/Getting_Started/Build/Windows/emerge.

To get it all working is a pain in the ass, mostly because there is no guide.

---

Here is how I did it:

• Install python and git.

• Create a directory where you want to install kde. Name it kde4, i.e. C:\kde4. This is futher called %KDEROOT%.

• Go to %KDEROOT%, using cd %KDEROOT%.

• Run

  git clone git://anongit.kde.org/emerge.git
  

  in this directory.

• Make directory %KDEROOT%\etc.

• Copy from %KDEROOT%\emerge\kdesettings-example.bat to %KDEROOT%\etc\kdesettings.bat, and change settings as preferred.

• Run:

  cd emerge && git checkout kde-4.7
  

  then go to %KDEROOT%\emerge and run kdeenv.bat.

  This will open a new window. Here you can start the building of kde.

• Run emerge qt, emerge kdelibs, emerge kde-baseapps, emerge kdevelop and emerge kdevelop-pg-qt.

  This will take a while.

• Now you need to make two bat files in the %KDEROOT%\bin directory.

  The first should be called kbuildsycoca4.bat and contain:

  @ECHO OFF
  
  ECHO Initialize KDE environment
  SET KDEROOT=%~dsp0\..
  SET KDEBIN=%KDEROOT%\bin
  SET KDELIB=%KDEROOT%\lib
  SET KDELIB_KDE4=%KDELIB%\kde4
  SET KDESHARE=%KDEROOT%\share
  SET KDESHARE_KDE4=%KDESHARE%\kde4
  SET KDEDEV_UTILS=%KDEROOT%\dev-utils
  SET GIT_LOC=%KDEDEV_UTILS%\git\bin
  SET SVN_LOC=%KDEDEV_UTILS%\svn\bin
  SET PYTHONPATH=C:\Users\Public\Programs\Python27\App <-- This is only nessecary if     it is not in your environment
  
  SET PATH=%PATH%;%GIT_LOC%;%SVN_LOC%
  SET KDEDIRS=%KDEROOT%;%KDEBIN%;%KDELIB%;%KDESHARE%;%KDEDEV_UTILS%;%KDELIB_KDE4%;%KDESHARE_KDE4%
  SET kbuildsycoca4_binary=%KDEBIN%\kbuildsycoca4.exe
  
  ECHO Running kbuildsycoca4
  :run
  CALL  "%kbuildsycoca4_binary%"
  CALL  "%kbuildsycoca4_binary%" --noincremental
  CALL  "%kbuildsycoca4_binary%" --checkstamps
  pause
  

  and the second one should be called kdevelop.bat and contain:

  @ECHO OFF
  
  ECHO Initialize KDE environment
  SET KDEROOT=%~dsp0\..
  SET KDEBIN=%KDEROOT%\bin
  SET KDELIB=%KDEROOT%\lib
  SET KDELIB_KDE4=%KDELIB%\kde4
  SET KDESHARE=%KDEROOT%\share
  SET KDESHARE_KDE4=%KDESHARE%\kde4
  SET KDEDEV_UTILS=%KDEROOT%\dev-utils
  SET GIT_LOC=%KDEDEV_UTILS%\git\bin
  SET SVN_LOC=%KDEDEV_UTILS%\svn\bin
  SET PYTHONPATH=C:\Users\Public\Programs\Python27\App <-- This is only nessecary if it is not in your environment
  
  SET PATH=%PATH%;%GIT_LOC%;%SVN_LOC%
  SET KDEDIRS=%KDEROOT%;%KDEBIN%;%KDELIB%;%KDESHARE%;%KDEDEV_UTILS%;%KDELIB_KDE4%;%    KDESHARE_KDE4%
  SET kdev_binary=%KDEBIN%\kdevelop.exe
  
  ECHO Starting kdevelop
  :run
  CALL  "%kdev_binary%"
  

Now it should run.

I still have trouble with the kDevCmakeManager plugin and the source formatter settings under settings->kdevelop settings->source formatter. It crashes then.
