*** Beendet ***

When I try to run the program I get the pop up message:

Code: Select all

No valid executable specified

How can I make the program running?

greetings

What project? How do you try to build it?

Does this for example happen when you create a project from one of the templates?

What project?

Standard C++ project

How do you try to build it?

I open the project und push the build button?

Does this for example happen when you create a project from one of the templates?

I don't know where to get templates.

Did you import the project by clicking the CMakeLists.txt file, i.e. with the CMake project manager?

Did you import the project by clicking the CMakeLists.txt file, i.e. with the CMake project manager?

No, I just created a new project

... and did you create a CMakeLists.txt file specifying how to build it? If not, KDevelop can't build it either

I didn't create any files, but honestly I expect a good ide to work without me having to create any files before even getting started.

For that purpose, you use Project -> New from Template. Depending on the template you select you get a basic cmake file you can extend.

In any case, you have to maintain your build system yourself.
