There's also already GUI options in the project treeview's context menu,
however I haven't tried any of that. The plan however is that those would
try to add the files in the right place, but will present you with the
changes being done before applying them so you can adjust. So editing your
CMakeLists.txt file (or whatever you're using) is a completely valid way of
making changes. The GUI options will only work for simple project setups.

Did you make sure you're compiling in debug mode? For cmake projects you
can see the actual flags by using make VERBOSE=1.

KDev4 will never be as KDev3 :) I personally find it very useful, but if
you have no clue about how things work there are indeed quite some rough
edges (like a missing pre-setup launch config, automatically suggesting
debug-builds when running cmake and some more things). We're aware of that
and are focussing on fixing exactly these things currently.
