problem with kdevelop.

Hi all… I am a student basically so i use programming tools mostly.I tried to work in kdevelop but after opening a file (or writing code and saving from kdevelop) i tried to compile from build menu. But there is nothing in that menu .no compile option, run option etc. What to do to get them ? thanks in advance…

Hi

i suggest to create a new project or to import an existing project. Kdevelop cannot compile apps when it does not know how to compile them (does it use automake, qmake and so on).

If your project does not use any of these build systems then you can create a custom Makefile which then can be used by Kdevelop or create a new automake based project and add your source files via the automake manager. That’s probably the easiest way :slight_smile:

hope this helps

press shift+F9
it compiles it!
which icon u have chosen?
IDE for c/c++?

I suggest migrating to a different IDE. KDevelop is good however if you are learning and need to focus more on getting the code down and testing - experimenting then perhaps try codeblocks, I recently installed it and have it to be the nicest IDE for C++ development, although that is personal opinion.

Anyway i suggest at least trying it, its very small in comparison to KDevelop :slight_smile:

Installation can be done in yast or perhaps just choose one of the links after searching “codeblocks” using Software.openSUSE.org

Hope this makes things a bit simpler rotfl!
