It depends considerably on your local set-up, and your platform because of wxW . I have these defines configured:

WXUSINGDLL=1
_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64
__WXGTK__=1

and the following custom include paths:

1=/opt/local/libexec/wxWidgets/3.0/include/wx-3.0
2=/opt/local/libexec/wxWidgets/3.0/lib/wx/include/gtk2-unicode-3.0

(all copied directly from my audacity/.kdev4/audacity.kdev4 settings file).

You can set these via the project settings dialog in KDevelop.

I'm guessing that you could get the wx-related defines and paths from wx-config, so if KDevelop supported (supports?) shell expressions in its settings files you could (almost) write a template .kdev4 file. Almost, because typically you have to know which wx-config script to use...
