Tue Jan 12, 2016 4:34 pm I can't seem to find the KDE templates list under the New Projects section for KDevelop. Despite install the kapptemplate package, all I get is this: Is kapptemplate broken for Plasma5? How can I get a template for Plasmoids in KDevelop without it then?

If yes, then this should work out the box. Otherwise you'll have to extend the XDG_DATA_DIRS variable. Also see: https://community.kde.org/Frameworks/Bu ... time_setup For the record: This works fine for me.

Not too sure if I installed it to the same prefix; I used apt-get to get the packages. I'll build from source if nothing else works though.

Tue Jan 12, 2016 5:45 pm I am using Ubuntu 15.10 with the kubuntu-desktop package, KDevelop 4.7.1, and what seems to be kapptemplate 0.1. Running kapptemplate standalone does produce the required template, but it doesn't integrate with KDevelop.

Tue Jan 12, 2016 7:20 pm Oh, I see the problem... kapptemplate is already KF5-based, while KDevelop isn't... They both expect the templates in different directories. Try this hack to copy file templates from kapptemplate to the directory where kdevelop expects them: $ sudo cp -Rv /usr/share/kdevappwizard/* /usr/share/kde4/apps/kdevappwizard/ Good luck.

Thank you so much! This did the trick : )
