Managing an application which have support for plugins

Hi

I'm writing an KDE4/Qt4 based application (using cmake) which supports plugins (using Qt4's plugin mechanism). The problem is that i've no clear idea how to manage its development i.e. compile/debug/execute. I'm currently doing the following: -

• set KDEDIRS to $HOME/custom

• and then in KDevelop3 in run options set "install before executing".

So every time i make a change whole project is compiled and "installed" and then executed from there. Is this the *right* approach? Any ideas?


Regards,
