What version of KDevelop for Centos 6.6?

[Nick Savoiu]

Cool! I was able to run the AppImage so perhaps I can avoid the pain of building it.
Are there any differences/limitations when using the AppImage version as opposed to using a regularly built binary?
Thanks,Nick

Nope, it's completely self-contained. Just try.

If you want to build from source (to fix issues or just for fun), then please 
check out Craft and get in touch with us:
