Thanks for the reply, but the only options provided by "Solve" are:

"Declare ''void FunctionName()' as a member of
1 private
2 protected
3 public
0 Hide"

If I select any option other than "Hide", the function is declared in
the associated .h file.
That breaks the build because the functions are then declared but not defined.

Note that this is a large (well over 500,000 lines of code) C++
project that builds with gcc. It is not a viable solution to make vast
changes to the code just so that it works in kDevelop.

gcc knows where to find the WxWidgets functions because
"WX_CONFIG=path" is passed by .configure, but kDevelop can clearly not
see that.

I have read various solutions for earlier versions of kDevelop, but I
have not been able to find any way in kDevelop 4.7.0 to tell kDevelop
where to find external libraries. Surely there MUST be a way to do
this?
