As far as I can understand Michael talking about a feature which is really 
missing in Kdevelop4. Compile single file from a project without recompiling 
whole project. With cmake it's possible to run

With cmake it can be done in the following way:

cd ${CMAKE_BUILD_DIR}
make -C ${CPP_FILE_SUBDIR_IN_SOURCE_TREE} ${CPP_FILE_NAME}.o
