Are you sure this file is hanging kdevelop? It is a very very big file and 
takes a long time to parse but it does work on my machine. The file is over 
65 thousand lines long (but less than the magic number 65536). How big is the 
file on your machine?

Also do you really want to generate a project for the _whole_ of kdebase? 
It's better to pick the program you want to work on and generate just for 
that. Then set the binary file and libtool in Project->Options->Binary. You 
do need to configure kdebase from the command line but that's a small price 
to pay for a managable sized project.
