Build Problem: "Could not find any plugins on startup"

That directory being created is unrelated to building any other KDE
components, it's sufficient to run "make install" in KDevelop. Not sure
why loading the plugins without installing doesn't work for you, but I
guess they do not find the libraries they are linked against (because
those are not installed into a useful location).

Making KDevelop runnable without installing it would be a nice thing,
but it's not currently the case afaik.

Best,
Sven
