Certainly. I use FreeBSD 4.0-CURRENT, 3.3-STABLE, and 2.2.8-STABLE. Your
problem lies in the fact that 2.2.8's compiler is _WAY_ out of date. Even if
you installed the gcc-devel port (updated to g++ 2.95.2, that is), I do not
know if you'd be successful in compiling kdevelop..

By the way, why aren't you using the ports (Qt 1.44, AFAIK, is not in there)?

KDevelop requires Qt 1.42 and kdelibs 1.1 compiled with g++ 2.91.66 or later
(as far as I know). I am currently working on a port for kdevelop, however, I
doubt I'll be submitting it anytime soon, so long as:

        1) The kdelibs11 and qt142 ports are not set to use the newer g++ by
           default. They need the USE_NEWGCC switch first. And there is nothing
           I can do about these problems, since I am not the maintainer of
           either of these ports.
        2) I need to port some of its dependencies (such as kdoc, kiconwrite,
           and a few others).
        3) It still does not find certain parts of the documentation. I'm
           looking into this.

If you want any kind of kdevelop port committed to the ports tree for FreeBSD,
you will need to bug the following:

        1) Maintainer of kdelibs11 port <se at FreeBSD.ORG>
        2) Maintainer of Qt 1.42 port <andreas at FreeBSD.ORG>

In the meantime, I highly advise that you upgrade to (at least) FreeBSD
3.3-STABLE. If you intend to use a program like kdevelop on a FreeBSD machine,
I'll be damned if you use an outdated version of it. The only reason anyone
would use older versions is if you are using the machine as a server and simply
do not need the newer "features". Period.

It's my understanding, of course, that R. Imura <imura at cs.titech.ac.jp> has
done a writeup of the kdevelop port. Check the -ports archive for the link.
See http://www.FreeBSD.ORG/search/ and search the -ports archive.

In the meantime, if anyone wishes to test my port, they can contact me and I'll
send them a copy of the current shar.
