As Kevin (I think) already pointed out, you don't need to use KDevelop, 
here "development environment" means a compiler, make, development headers, 
etc.

Make sure that's one of the release tarballs, not a source package from your 
distribution. It's been a long time since I tried to build KDE3 software, if 
I remember right:

./configure
make

ought to do, at least on Linux systems. Just leave the whole compiled kdegames 
there, cd into ksirtet and work there. The reason you need a whole compiled 
kdegames is that there is code sharing and convenience libraries all over the 
place; ksirtet may assume some other library is being compiled elsewhere in 
kdegames at the same time.

You should be able to build and install ksirtet once you've cd'ed into its 
directory:

make clean # for thoroughness
make && make install

Hm. I'm not familiar enough with the source structure of ksirtet.

Doesn't look like something that would be triggered by changing main.h, looks 
like a more general problem. Check that it compiles cleanly without your 
modifications.
