KDevelop 4 - ArchWiki

# KDevelop 4

"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 kdevelop from the official repositories.

## Building additional plugins

### First: install dependency

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

### PHP

The PHP plugin (kdevelop-php) from the official repositories provides autocompletion and other PHP-specific features.

Restart KDevelop 4 and you should now have improved PHP support, including autocomplete for both the PHP functions as well as for your project's functions and classes.

### Other plugins

Other plugins are available from AUR: kdevelop-extra-plugins

## 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.
