by selecting KDevelop’s Project menu and clicking the New menu item.
You can begin building your project by stepping through the wizard dialogs.
When you click the Create button, KDevelop automatically generates all the
files that are normally found in a KDE client source directory (including the
configure script, which checks dependencies and builds the client’s
makefile). To test your client, you can either first click the Build menu’s
Make menu item (or press F8) or just click the Execute menu item (or press
F9), and the client is built automatically. You can use KDevelop to create
KDE clients, plug-ins for the Konqueror browser, KDE kicker panel
applets, KDE desktop themes, Qt library-based clients, and even programs for
GNOME.

builder can help you save time and effort when building a basic skeleton for a
program. You launch Glade from the desktop panel’s Programming menu.
When you launch Glade, a directory named Projects is created in your
home directory, and you see a main window, along with the window shown
