Using other compilers....

Easy, as long as you use gcc as a cross-compiler:

The gcc frontend selects its mid- and back-ends with the -V <version> and -b
<architechture> switches.
Set up the cross gcc and make sure that you do not overwrite /usr/bin/gcc
/usr/bin/g++ (make backups first).
I.e. gcc should still compile for your machine without switches but if you do
e.g. gcc -V 2.8.1 -b m68k-unknown-coff
you would have the "normal" front-end select the backend for a m68k coff system
and use the compiler version 2.8.1 . Now go to kdevelop's men ubar, select
project->options(F7)->compiler options and add the -V and -b switches with the
according parameters in the field at the bottom, called "additional parameters".
If you are not sure what version / architechture identifiers you should use, go
to /usr/lib/gcc-lib and check out the subdirectories there as well as their
subdirs:
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/<architecture identifier>/<version identifier>
You may have installed a version in /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib -- the structure is
the same.

I do alot of cross development.
