The unfortunate side effect of labeling a product Kdevelop 4 is you have long time users like me expecting the ease of use of Kdevelop 3 and not have egg on ones face trying to demonstrate it wondering why Kdevelop 4 is such a radical departure from the original; I can't simply add files to a directory/project and compile that file.<br>
<br>Also, guys while I love how the new intellisence works, you have given the word IDE to your product and IDE means isolation, insulation from a build system to most people especially the marginal people using VS<br><br>
I am very disappointed that you have now spell it out for me; I am going to have to know something about the build system cmake if I am to become proficient at Kdevelop 4. I was really hoping that would not be the case.<br>

</div></div>Hey Micheal.<br>
<br>
No, there is no such thing. And you probably didn#t create these 300 files<br>
without running make, once, did you? Isn't that an existing project which<br>
comes with makesfiles, e.g. from autotools back then? Why do you want to<br>
convert it to CMake if you don't like it? You can run make with KDevelop 4.<br>
<br>
And as I told you already on my blog [1], KDevelop 4 has no support for<br>
autotools (yet?), and we do want to add more wizards in the future.<br>
<br>
While I'm of course sad to see any user abandon KDevelop, and see your<br>
reasons, I still have to say: Generators are always limited, and CMake is just<br>
another language, more or less. Learn it and love it, or stick to old tools<br>
that come with autotools support. Or stay tuned until we come to a point where<br>
we also have more wizards for CMake. Just don't expect that it will all be<br>
hidden and being done magically in the background, that simply does not work.<br>
<br>
Bye<br>
