Debugging using Kdevelop
From Yade
Update for Kdevelop 4
Yade sources come with a yade.kdev4 file that you can open with kdevelop 4.
For generating Yade project, you have to "import" a project, then select the yade directory, but don't give any "project" file *.kdev4 (the old *.kdev project cannot be read), as it will have to be generated automaticaly. Select project type "custom build", then go to project option and set build executable "scons". At this point, you can compile from kdevelop, get nice error output with links to where the errors are, etc. There is also a rich class and member description, auto-completion, display of functions signatures, etc.
Procedure for Kdevelop 3
When compiling yade for the first time, please do it from command line, so that a file scons.config will contain your compilation settings. After that you can start working using kdevelop. You can run kdevelop with command:
cd yade-0.11.0 kdevelop Yade.kdevelop
Or running it directly from konqueror by clicking on file Yade.kdevelop. When kdvelop starts for the first time it will ask to populate the project. Let it do this:
Then you will need to go into project options to configure your paths and set number of processors to be used during compilation (because, unfortunately kdevelop overrides scons jobs setting):
Then, after compiling yade you can try running it, and debugging, which should work without problems.
