Building Kdevelop 4.7.3 on Cygwin --Total success!!!!

[Michael George Hart]

This is how I got Kdevelop 4.7.3 seemly fully functional under the latest
version of Cygwin that I obtained about 3 weeks ago --for now, we will
forget about kdevelop 5.x until the default version of CygWin has the
correct version KF5

I offer no explanation at this time other than the fact this is what I had
to do to make kdevelop 4.7.3 work under CygWin;
Those people who are smart that me about this please fill in the gaps if
you can.

NOTE: during the build some file use “bcopy” and bzero which I replaced
with memset and memcpy. I did not note what file it was; however should you
get an error after following my process stated above, the source of the
errors will most likely bzero and bcopy

Good luck

*Building Kdevelop 4.7.3*

*Change in the following four file #include <QString> to #include
<qstring.h>*
view
~/Documents/4.7.3/kdevelop-4.7.3/debuggers/gdb/printers/tests/qstring.cpp
view
~/Documents/4.7.3/kdevelop-4.7.3/debuggers/gdb/printers/tests/qmapstring.cpp
view
~/Documents/4.7.3/kdevelop-4.7.3/debuggers/gdb/printers/tests/qlistcontainer.cpp
view
~/Documents/4.7.3/kdevelop-4.7.3/debuggers/gdb/printers/tests/qmapstringbool.cpp

*cmake **–D **KDE_HAVE_GCC_VISIBILITY=NO** ../*

*make **fails to build **and get some errors*; do the following edits

*This fil**e* *“*
*~/Documents/4.7.3/kdevelop-4.7.3/build/kdeintegration/kdeprovider/kdevkdeprovider_automoc.cpp*
*”** gets generated with multiple copies of **“**moc_kdeprojectsmodel.cpp*”
So edit
view
~/Documents/4.7.3/kdevelop-4.7.3/build/kdeintegration/kdeprovider/moc_kdeprojectsmodel.cpp
place the following as the very first two lines
#ifndef MEMEME
#define MEMEME
and #endif as the very last line

*make install*

*kbuildsycoca**4*

*kde4-config.exe --path data*
>/home/u436735/.kde4/share/apps/:/usr/share/kde4/apps/

*cd **~/**.kde4/share/apps/*

*ln -s /usr/local/share/kde4/apps/* .*

You are done and ready to run kdevelop

All feedback or thoughts are welcome; for you can see I took the bruteforce
approach to get what I need. Something more elegant would be nice

Thanks again
Michael
