Part of the problem is that FreeBSD 3.x uses the older (obsolete) GCC
2.7.2.3, where GCC 2.95.2 is required (maybe egcs 1.1.2 will work) to build
kdevelop. The libraries also have to be built by the same compiler.
However, this problem does not exist on 4.0 and later, because the main
system compiler was upgraded to 2.95.2. In any case, there are other minor
nits that can be fixed in kdevelop's source code; although I have not
checked to see if it was fixed in kdevelop 1.2.

As for KDK, I haven't looked at it yet; perhaps someone could point me at a
URL which indicates what the KDK is composed of, and I can add it to
FreeBSD's ports collection so that a package can be generated for it. If
Andreas Richter created a ``port'' of KDK in the sense that the ports
collection (http://www.freebsd.org/ports/) calls ``ports'', then I'll add
that to the tree instead.
