[cad-linux] Kdevelop

Keith,

Regarding your question about KDevelop.  This program is a C, C++, QT and KDE 
development environment that automates many of the tasks for writing programs 
(including the documentation and help files).  It keeps track of the various 
modules, files, bitmaps and libraries that make up a program.  It is also 
where you can set your compile and link options.   

When it comes time to create a distribution you hit the button called (not 
surprisingly) "make distribution".  This is the mechanism I used to package 
the source files.  The scripts do all their magic in the background (well 
they actually spew a ton of text to the screen much too fast to read it all). 
 This makes it easy for me to release a distribution, but makes it hard for 
me to help others install the program because I don't really know all that it 
does behind the scenes (and truthfully I don't ever seeing myself taking the 
time to try to figure it all out).

If you have KDevelop installed on your system you should be able to click on 
the file called "viewer.kdevprj" and it will open and show you the source 
files organized by several different tree views, there are windows to edit 
header and code files, and tool windows that link to the bit map editors 
along with several other tools.  I have an old version (1.0) of the program 
but I love it.

Andy
