kdevelop3

[psam]

I recently installed a linux distribuiton based on mandriva (Linux Caixa Mágica) using kde. Before, i used kdevelop 3 on Ubuntu, but now when i use Synaptic to install kdevelop i can only find kdevelop4 (which i think is still on beta development) (and i didn't change the repositories). Does anyone know a way to install kdevelop3 on my machine?

You can use apt-get to install a specific version: apt-get

[psam]

I've tried the following:

apt-get install kdevelop 3
But it says that's an obsolete package and advises me to install kdevelop4.

apt-cache search kdevelop
And i still only find packages related to kdevelop4.

[WingedPanther]

There should be an option to force it to install the obsolete package.

[psam]

It doesn't find it that's why it says it must obsolete. =(

[psam]

Well i now tried to compile it from the source. I installed all the needed packages so i am able to run configure. But then when i try to "make -k install" it shows a LOT of warnings and errors, so it doesn't compile . I'm not sure, but i believe these errors are related to qt or kde, because almost all of these errors are about classes. I installed kde3 base, libs and devel packages, along with qt3 devel and a few more. If you have any idea what's going wrong, please help.

Without knowing what the error messages are, no clue. Have you tried kdevelop4?

[psam]

I've tried kdevelop4 and it works fine but it's very different from the 3rd version and it's still not fully developed.

When i run "make install" i get the following:

I was able to compile correctly, i had some wrong envirnment variables.

But now i'm getting another error, when i start kdevelop i get the following message:

Unable to find plugins, KDevelop will not work properly.
Please make sure that KDevelop is installed in your KDE directory; otherwise, you have to add KDevelop's installation path to the environment variable KDEDIRS and run kbuildsycoca. Restart KDevelop afterwards.
Example for BASH users:
export KDEDIRS=/path/to/kdevelop:$KDEDIRS && kbuildsycoca

I believe that kdevelop is installed under /opt/kde3. But when i do that it doesn't work.

I re-compiled and now it WORKS. Sorry for the trouble .

I'm glad you got it working
