No, once you've ran configure there should be a Makefile in
<project-dir>/.

No, KDevelop cannot build anything, neither KDev3 nor KDev4. What
KDevelop can do is start your build-tool, usually make. KDev3 had some
GUI dialogs to configure the buildsystem, kdevelop4 does not have that
anymore. Hence there's no GUI to create an executable,  a library or
some other kind of target. Instead please look into the documentation of
the buildsystem you're using and edit the buildsystem files
apropriately.
