Hi,

I install the latest version of Kdevelop under Ubuntu compiling from the git.
It works fine, but I have a problem: everytime I want to use it, I have to execute this little script in order to make it work fine:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
export KDEDIRS=/usr/local/:$KDEDIRS
kbuildsycoca4

Plus, it seems like my sessions doesn't save correctly. I have to import my projects at every launch.
What am I missing?

Thanks

You can either install to /usr/ instead of /usr/local (by passing -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr to cmake) or run that script every time (maybe automatically).

Greetings!

Also you can do this https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=63&t=61892
Basically just add a script to your .kde/env dir, it will execute every time you log in.
Perhaps you will need to run kbuildsycoca4 one last time after reloading KDE.

Thanks for the replies.

Scummos:
I'll try to install it on /usr/. But what's the difference?
Is that why my sessions are not saved?

OneHundRedOf:
I'm not using KDE so I guess the script won't execute by itself at launch.

Btw, thanks for the answer

The difference is that /usr is the default directory and for that you won't need a script.

What do you mean by "sessions not saved" exactly?

I mean that when I quit Kdevelop after I imported my projects, at the next launch I have to reimport all of them.

EDIT: I managed to make it work by adding the KDEDIR var env to the syste at boot, and launching the script at startup!
