KDevelop 4.2.3 on Mac Lion

Hi
I haven't ever tried KDevelop on a Mac OS X, but I'll try to help you when
possible.

That's possibly an error message that Mac has but we don't, it would be
interesting if you could investigate a little and open a bug report in
bugs.kde.org. We'll hopefully be able to solve whatever it is.

Well, no, but this high load should only happen when loading the program.
Here also it would be interesting if you could provide some backtrace of
what it's doing in case you think it's not working. (note that the initial
parsing will read and process the whole project, it's not a trivial task)

You should address this problem to the kde macos people/person. They'll know
better than us!

main menu preference button? what do you mean?
and the dialog you mean is shown when you open the project for the first
time, the one that lets you select the buid directory, no?

It's ok, we're also interested in having KDevelop working on as much systems
possible ^^.
