static libraries corrupt?

Kdevelop??
kdevelop only calls "make" or "gmake" (in the project source directory)
depending on the settings.
Keep in mind that it is only a frontend... 
Basically it has no compiler in it and the different distributions
support different c/c++-frameworks.
So your system has to be configured properly to make binaries by console
before you can use the frontend KDevelop.
Normally this shouldn't be a problem, but as you can see from other
postings it isn't that easy (e.g. SuSE needs to have some other packages
installed before you can create binaries - like xdevel for x11
developing and qtdevel for qt developing, etc. or not having 2 different
c/c++-frameworks installed like gccfront _and_ egcs, because certain
settings (like pathes) wouldn´t be quite right...)

For me on SuSE it works fine.

  ^^^^^^^^ the system´s devolping configuration... ;-)

KDevelop 1.x works only with KDE 1.x (means kdelibs 1.2), but if you
have both shared kdelibs (1.2 and >=1.90) on your system, you can
configure your system to start KDevelop (and -some- other KDE
applications) within KDE 2.0betax.
But you have to configure it manually (and you have to have a look at
many things), because most distributions don´t install kde 2.x on a
different location and all settings (like pathes, etc.) are also made
for only _one_ kde version on _one_ system.
(e.g. installing both kde versions by packages, causes the package
management tool - like rpm - to delete the older kde version)

You already can use KDevelop 1.2 inside KDE 1.x to develop for KDE 2.x
and start your project (which would use kdelibs >=1.90) within KDE 1.x. 
Means also to have both libraries (kdelibs 1.2 and kdelibs >=1.9)
installed on your system.

For configuring your system to use both version you can also get some
info from:
http://www.kde.org/kde1-and-kde2.html
and many last postings of Ralf N.
