Building Kdevelop 4.7.3 on Cygwin --Total success!!!!

Discussion:

2016-05-19 23:27:38 UTC

This is how I got Kdevelop 4.7.3 seemly fully functional under the latest
version of Cygwin that I obtained about 3 weeks ago --for now, we will
forget about kdevelop 5.x until the default version of CygWin has the
correct version KF5

I offer no explanation at this time other than the fact this is what I had
to do to make kdevelop 4.7.3 work under CygWin;
Those people who are smart that me about this please fill in the gaps if
you can.

NOTE: during the build some file use âbcopyâ and bzero which I replaced
with memset and memcpy. I did not note what file it was; however should you
get an error after following my process stated above, the source of the
errors will most likely bzero and bcopy

Good luck

All feedback or thoughts are welcome; for you can see I took the bruteforce

Now to throw some bad news on my success.

KDE under cygwin is inherently unstable. Therefore Kdevelop 4.7.3 is also
unstable

I noticed this when I wanted to change the editors configuration on the
Kdevelop
This system Kdevelop simply locked up.

I even started the test kate and kwrite by starting their own menu for
editor configuration. ... kate consistently locked up.

I guess the day when KDE become stable under cygwin we will all happily be
able to use kdevelop

Heya,

As I said before: I recommend trying KDevelop 5 (again). KDevelop 5 + its
dependent libraries (Qt5, KF5) have undergone *way* more testing under Windows
than the 4.x series had.

Can't help you a lot with KDevelop 4.x.

Cheers,
Kevin

As I said before
This is a corporate Windows environment with no local admin rights on our
desktops with limited access to the internet.

Unless you guys can provide a self contained package that needs no access
to the internet the mrthod to get kdevelop 5 is pretty much useless to most
corporate developers wanting to us i
