  • As said in my other comment, KDevelop is now readily available on Windows: https://www.kdevelop.org/download – kfunk Nov 17 '16 at 13:15

I've installed kdevelop on win7, using emerge: http://techbase.kde.org/Getting_Started/Build/Windows/emerge.

To get it all working is a pain in the ass, mostly because there is no guide.

Here is how I did it:

  • Install python and git.

  • Create a directory where you want to install kde. Name it kde4, i.e. C:\kde4. This is futher called %KDEROOT%.

  • Go to %KDEROOT%, using cd %KDEROOT%.

  • Run

    git clone git://anongit.kde.org/emerge.git

    in this directory.

  • Make directory %KDEROOT%\etc.

  • Copy from %KDEROOT%\emerge\kdesettings-example.bat to %KDEROOT%\etc\kdesettings.bat, and change settings as preferred.

  • Run:

    cd emerge && git checkout kde-4.7

    then go to %KDEROOT%\emerge and run kdeenv.bat.

    This will open a new window. Here you can start the building of kde.

  • Run emerge qt, emerge kdelibs, emerge kde-baseapps, emerge kdevelop and emerge kdevelop-pg-qt.

    This will take a while.

  • Now you need to make two bat files in the %KDEROOT%\bin directory.

    The first should be called kbuildsycoca4.bat and contain:

    @ECHO OFF

ECHO Initialize KDE environment
SET KDEROOT=%~dsp0\..
SET KDEBIN=%KDEROOT%\bin
SET KDELIB=%KDEROOT%\lib
SET KDELIB_KDE4=%KDELIB%\kde4
SET KDESHARE=%KDEROOT%\share
SET KDESHARE_KDE4=%KDESHARE%\kde4
SET KDEDEV_UTILS=%KDEROOT%\dev-utils
SET GIT_LOC=%KDEDEV_UTILS%\git\bin
SET SVN_LOC=%KDEDEV_UTILS%\svn\bin
SET PYTHONPATH=C:\Users\Public\Programs\Python27\App <-- This is only nessecary if     it is not in your environment

SET PATH=%PATH%;%GIT_LOC%;%SVN_LOC%
SET KDEDIRS=%KDEROOT%;%KDEBIN%;%KDELIB%;%KDESHARE%;%KDEDEV_UTILS%;%KDELIB_KDE4%;%KDESHARE_KDE4%
SET kbuildsycoca4_binary=%KDEBIN%\kbuildsycoca4.exe

ECHO Running kbuildsycoca4
:run
CALL  "%kbuildsycoca4_binary%"
CALL  "%kbuildsycoca4_binary%" --noincremental
CALL  "%kbuildsycoca4_binary%" --checkstamps
pause

    and the second one should be called kdevelop.bat and contain:

    @ECHO OFF

ECHO Initialize KDE environment
SET KDEROOT=%~dsp0\..
SET KDEBIN=%KDEROOT%\bin
SET KDELIB=%KDEROOT%\lib
SET KDELIB_KDE4=%KDELIB%\kde4
SET KDESHARE=%KDEROOT%\share
SET KDESHARE_KDE4=%KDESHARE%\kde4
SET KDEDEV_UTILS=%KDEROOT%\dev-utils
SET GIT_LOC=%KDEDEV_UTILS%\git\bin
SET SVN_LOC=%KDEDEV_UTILS%\svn\bin
SET PYTHONPATH=C:\Users\Public\Programs\Python27\App <-- This is only nessecary if it is not in your environment

SET PATH=%PATH%;%GIT_LOC%;%SVN_LOC%
SET KDEDIRS=%KDEROOT%;%KDEBIN%;%KDELIB%;%KDESHARE%;%KDEDEV_UTILS%;%KDELIB_KDE4%;%    KDESHARE_KDE4%
SET kdev_binary=%KDEBIN%\kdevelop.exe

ECHO Starting kdevelop
:run
CALL  "%kdev_binary%"

Now it should run.

I still have trouble with the kDevCmakeManager plugin and the source formatter settings under settings->kdevelop settings->source formatter. It crashes then.

KDE 4 supports Windows, and you can check the install methods from this and here.

Note that you will have to use either MinGW or MSVC as the compiler, though.

    @craftace: I only found this: http://techbase.kde.org/Getting_Started/Build/KDE4/Windows/GCC_And_MinGW which seem to suggest build it from source. I normally don't use Windows, so I only know the news that KDE4 supports Windows, but never tried. However, because the official KDE4 has released for more than a year, I hope and believe you'll be able to install it. – zw324 Aug 18 '11 at 03:42
  • i installed the kde4 but where is the kdeveloper software? sorry im quite lost now – craftace Aug 18 '11 at 03:51
