Building a library and executable with 300 C++ files.

[Michael Hart]

First of all my project is not a Kdevelop project.

Second, like the many people I was trying to move from VS to Kdevelop under
LINUX I don't want spend a time learning about any build system. I want to
do as I always did under kdevelop 3 and VS; select and add files to a
project and press a build button

Is this even possible under Kdevelop 4. If not what is the easiest way to do
such a thing?
