I received a src archive from a friend who develops Qt apps on Linux on Kdevelop IDE. Is it possible to load the Kdevelop project in Windows in some IDE ? Is there a Kdevelop port on Windows without Cygwin/Msys etc ? Are there any workarounds or I should I have to install Linux and take charge?

Update : I visited the page as mentioned in the below answer, but there's no Kdevelop package in the KdeWin installer . See here

KDevelop 4 will also be available on Windows (together with a lot of other KDE4 software). It is currently in beta, but you can download a Windows installer. The installer also lets you install other KDE4 software and should come with the QT development files you will need to develop QT applications.

  • Can i import a Kdevelop project done in Linux on the Windows version? – iceman Nov 24 '09 at 13:36
  • I would think so, if the Project is created by a similar version of KDevelop there, but I haven't tried it. How well it will compile also is a different question, depending on if the project sticks with Qt or uses system specific libraries/functions. I'd say your best bet it to just try it. – sth Nov 24 '09 at 13:51

    You have to use an unstable mirror. Just enter http://www.winkde.org/pub/kde/ports/win32/releases/nightly/20110313/. http://www.winkde.org/pub/kde/ports/win32/releases/unstable/4.2.95/, too. These go in the mirror after unchecking "skip needed functionality. Never have this check-marked. But we defautly check mark it for you anyways" – TamusJRoyce Mar 16 '11 at 02:26

AFAICT, there is no port to Windows of Kdevelop4 and Kdevelop3 was run with cygwin - which, IMHO, is not really a robust solution.

It would probably be easier, and better, to install a Linux distro in a virtual machine and go at it from there. If you don't need access to Windows, you could just install a Linux on a separate hardrive and/or partition.

Install linux on virtual machine such as vmware or virtual box.
