= Using KDevelop as your IDE =
== Necessary steps ==
If you want to code comfortable then we suggest you to use an IDE. The below steps describe how to use KDevelop as your IDE.
 1. Go to the orxonox directory:
{{{
cd ~/orxonox/trunk
}}}
 2. Let cmake produce the basic KDevelop project file:
{{{
cmake -GKDevelop3
}}}
 3. Run KDevelop and open your project file (Project -> Open Project)
'''Edit essential options'''
 4. Go to ''Project->Project Options'' choose ''Run Options'' and change following things:
  || Executable || #PATH_TO_ORXONOX/bin/orxonox ||
|| Working Directory || #PATH_TO_ORXONOX/bin ||
 5. Now choose ''Build Options'', select ''Make'', activate ''Run multiple jobs'' and change ''Simultaneous jobs'' (e.g. to 4)
== Make KDevelop more efficient ==
In order to improve productivity you can activate / benefit from some features.
