We can't use ctags in KDevelop4, here the plan would be to use a buildtool
(cmake, makefile) that tells us what are the include directories and defines
or you can have the custom build system where you will tell kdevelop
specifically what are the include directories and so.

Thanks for appreciating your work and don't hesitate to contact if you need
further help.
