<p dir="ltr">Now to throw some bad news on my success.</p>
<p dir="ltr">KDE under cygwin is inherently unstable. Therefore Kdevelop 4.7.3 is also unstable</p>
<p dir="ltr">I noticed this when I wanted to change the editors configuration on the Kdevelop<br>
This system Kdevelop simply locked up. </p>
<p dir="ltr">I even started the test kate and kwrite by starting their own menu for editor configuration. ... kate consistently locked up.</p>
<p dir="ltr">I guess the day when KDE become stable under cygwin we will all happily be able to use kdevelop</p>
<p dir="ltr">Later</p>

<div>NOTE: during the build some file use “bcopy” 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
