in the prefix, you've chosen, there are no KDE headers installed.

yes, but only if you do a "make install" from command line.
KDevelop doesn't perform this action, because in general you need 
root-rights to install your package on the system (normally you need 
write permission to /opt/kde2, /usr/kde2 /usr/local/bin or sth. similar 
depending on the distribution and application type)

On debugging or starting your app inside KDevelop the binary created 
inside myApp/myApp (or inside myApp/myApp/.libs) will be used.

--- Excursion for KDE-apps: ;-)
You have to install your package, if you want to access application 
data, which is shared inside the KDE specific directories.

Handling these data files can be done by using kde library functions 
inside your application (for example to find icons or the config file 
myApprc etc.).

In this case I suggest to use the directory structure given by your KDE 
and/or your distribution (for example on SuSE /opt/kde2/bin for 
binaries, /opt/kde2/lib for KDE-specific libraries, 
/opt/kde2/share/config, /opt/kde2/share/apps, etc etc.....)

Ciao
