# KDevelop

"KDevelop is a free, open source IDE (Integrated Development Environment) for MS Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, Solaris and FreeBSD. It is a feature-full, plugin extensible IDE for C/C++ and other programming languages. It is based on KDevPlatform, and the KDE and Qt libraries and is under development since 1998."

## Installation

Install the kdevelop package.

### Plugins

Install plugins to provide autocompletion and other language-specific features:

- For PHP, install the kdevelop-php package
- For Python, install the kdevelop-python package

## Building additional plugins

The KDevelop Parser Generator (kdevelop-pg-qt package) is required to build additional plugins. Plugins will not compile if this package is not installed beforehand.

## Troubleshooting

### KDevCMakeManager

If you get an error saying that project management plugin could not be loaded ("Could not load project management plugin KDevCMakeManager.") make sure cmake is installed.
