Project Files in KDevelop

Question

I am trying to use KDevelop to write a simple cmake based application. KDevelop created two myProject.kdev4 project files: one in the project folder and one in the hidden .kdev4 subfolder. Both are not empty. Which ones should I check? How can I force kdevelop to use only one project file (and preferably not use hidden folders)?

Answer 1

The .kdev4 file is used for specific kdevelop information (basically it tells KDevelop that it uses the CMake project manager). The folder contains user configuration (if you are familiar with Visual Studio, this is similar to .user files).

CMakeLists.txt, . .kdev4, "" CMakeLists.txt . .kdev4 , .
