Did you get this form the ftp site ?  You must have got the head branch which
will only work with KDE 2.0.  Please be aware that you need more than qt 2.0 to
compile the sources from the head branch. It also needs MICO as CORBA is used
heavily.  Moreover, the head branch is under heavy development and is not as
stable as KDE 1.x.  If I were you, I would try to obtain a copy of KDE 1.1.1
instead.  Try ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/stable/1.1.1/distribution/.

Did you try make -f Makefile.cvs or make -f Makefile.dist first ?

See above

AFAIK you don't need neither the head branch snapshot of KDE nor Qt 2.0 for
compiling kdevelop
