Integrating KDevelop w/ gcc and g++

[se2131]

I recently installed KDevelop because I saw a number of recommendations for it as far as an IDE goes. However, after installing, I realized that there is no clear way to compile the programs (C++). Is there a way to integrate gcc and g++ into the IDE so that I can run it all from KDevelop, and don't have to use the terminal?

Thanks in advance

I'm also looking for an answer to this problem, possibly I have automake and auto configure installed wrong but I can't seem to be able to compile and run any programs using any IDE in Ubuntu.

I wrote a simple hello world program using KDevelop but I can't work out how to compile 0_o

Have you installed build-essential package before deploying KDevelop? Similiar situation happened to me a year ago and I fixed it by installing this package. It doesn't matter if KDevelop is already installed, as long as you have build-essential package installed, it should work... Also, look if you have all KDE and Qt related development packages and libraries installed on your system, that caused me lots of problems and frustrations in the past, too... Good luck.

I have build-essential installed already, so that's not it unfortunately.

As for the KDE and QT development packages, which ones should I install? There seem to be a lot of choices, so should I just go ahead and install them all (e.g. qt4-dev-tools, qt3-dev-tools, kde-devel, kde-devel-extras, etc. etc)

Thanks

I've also installed build-essentials so its not that.
This is really annoying me, I don't want to have to dual boot just to write some c programs for uni.

To cold_fu5ion:

There's no need to dual boot, even though we can't get the IDE to compile, you can still use gcc or g++ (I think one works in some situations, and the other works in others) to compile your .c file. It's temporary, but at least it prevents you from the major hassle of dual booting when it's not necessary.

g++ myprogram.c --> creates an a.out file which you can execute (you can also name it something else w/ the -o option)

Of course - otherwise, it wouldn't be an IDE

What version of KDevelop do you have, what have you tried so far, and what problems are you having?

Thanks for the terminal commands
Im using KDev version 3.5.5. I just can't work out how to compile, I read a guide that said ............. "From the build menu; choose ‘Run automake and friends’. After this is successfull; run ‘Build->Run Configure’. Now your project is ready to ‘Build’. Choose ‘Build->Build Project’ and then you can execute it by doing ‘Build->Execute Program’. Congrats! You have just built your first KDE application."

When I click on build the only thing is a greyed out stop button, there just is nothing else in that menu.

I'm pretty sure 3.4.0 is the latest stable release of kdevelop

What version of (K)Ubuntu are you using? I'll see if I can try this out in a blank VM when I get home tonight. I seem to recall that the "Automake and Friends" always ends with an error or a warning on a stock (K)Ubuntu install, which is why the build cycle is failing, but can't recall offhand what the fix was.

I'm using KDevelop version 3.3.4, w/ KDE version 3.5.5. I just installed it a few days ago, so I think that it's the latest version (I think cold_fu5ion was referring to his KDE version). I'm running this on Ubuntu 6.10

I also only have the greyed out "Stop" item under the Build menu.


Thanks for looking into this, hopefully we can get this to work
