I tried to compile the "Hello World" file from Tutorial 1, with the provided CMakeLists, but at halfway, CMake throws bugs in my face!
Here is the trace:

I use KDE 4.8.4. What could have gone wrong?

Is this KDevelop's template? It probably sucks. But, which template did you use exactly and from what version of KDevelop? KDE 4.8 is quite old.
Try this: http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tut ... st_program

Somebody is working on improving the templates already

No, I copypasted it from the tutorial site. And the main.cpp was made in Qt4 Creator.
EDIT: copypaste and Qt Creator caused the bug.

Ok, in that case try the kdevelop template instead and if that works, fix the tutorial page.

I compiled it with KDevelop with the modified CMake file, but the app still won't show up.
EDIT: success.

If this issue has been solved, can you please mark the appropriate response as solving the issue? Thanks.
