<p>Hi Mike,</p>
<p>technology moves forward, and tooling to create it moves with
that. Just like 2005's web browsers could easily play an Adobe
Flash video but today's can't any more, old things are dropped and
new things are adopted instead.</p>
<p>No current C++ project I'm aware of uses automake ("configure")
any more, much like none of them uses the CVS version control
system. KDevelop moved with that development, and now instead
supports CMake and git. We do not have the resources to continue
supporting things from 2005 used by 0.1% of our user base.</p>
<p>I think there are two options for your situation; either you
adopt new technologies to fulfill your requirements, or you stick
with the old tooling. You typically won't find modern-day tooling
for 15-year-old technology.</p>
<p>In my experience, the best way to do this is continuously
exploring new developments and gradually adopting them. Otherwise,
you maneuver yourself into the situation you are in now, where
everything breaks down all of a sudden, which is of course not
nice.<br>
</p>
<p>All the best,<br>
Sven</p>

<font face="Calibri">Hi,<br>
<br>
We have been developing products for 14 years using kdevelop
2.15 c/c++ on an Intel platform. The interface is great and with
project options for compiler and linker which remove needs to
edit any make-dependant files.<br>
<br>
So I was surprised moving to the latest version of kdevelop on a
Pi and on an Arm platform that things seem to have gone
backwards in the last 14 years. No compiler/linker options and
no working configure. Am I missing something? Is there another
version that will give me 2.15 functionality on Arm? Do I get
the sorce for kdevelop 2.15 and re-compile on Arm. Can you give
me some guidance. I can't believe you've made a great product
worse!<br>
<br>
What do I do?<br>
