hi.i was trying to compile kdevelop as the instruction in http://www.kdevelop.org/mediawiki/in...op_4/compiling
but when i came to this command (cmake ../)the following problem happend:

CMake Error: The source directory "/home/forensic/src/kdevplatform" does not appear to contain CMakeLists.txt.
Specify --help for usage, or press the help button on the CMake GUI.



i also copy the CMakeLists.txt from the source file of cmake2.8 but this time again this error was happened:

The easy way to get kdevelop : # zypper in kdevelop4


Which sources are you using ?
'kdevplatform-1.0.0.tar.bb2' + 'kdevelop-4.0.0.tar.bz2' ?

Which version of Suse is used ?

1) The requirements :
# zypper in libkdecore4-devel libkde4-devel kdebase4-workspace-devel boost-devel
( = 149 packages total, including all dependencies ! )

A configuration file from cmake can only be used in .. cmake.
If "CMakeLists.txt" is missing :
You are probably doing the commands from a wrong directory.

2)
ls src/ : The reply is supposed to be : kdevelop-4.0.0/ kdevplatform-1.0.0/
3)
cd src/kdevplatform-1.0.0/ && mkdir build && cd build && 'cmake ..' && make
3a) # make install && exit && exit : Suse 11.3 - 64 : No errors.

4)
cd src/kdevelop-4.0.0/ && mkdir build && cd build && 'cmake ..' && make
4a) # make install && exit : No errors.
.. The command 'kdevelop' will display the kdevelop4 GUI.
