warning message on compile not understood

Different things, Qt is an API, gdb is a debugger, ddd is gdb's graphical frontend. You'll need to use all three of them regardless the Qt version you'll use (offtopic: Don't you just love ddd? If the interface was better then it would dominate (not that I mind I only care about it's capabilities))

I used ddd and gdb but could not get string variables displayied and I wanted to use kwrite as my text editor. I found importing my source code to KDevelop gave me both.

This link will allow you to watch qt types using gdb http://webcvs.kde.org//~checkout~/kd.../kde-devel-gdb
In a few words add this line to your ~/.gdbinit :

source /[path to kde sources]/kdesdk/scripts/kde-devel-gdb

Thanks. I have "ddd" & "gdb". I have /.dddinit but not /.gdbinit.
Will this work any better then KDevelop?

You could try it yourself to see if it fits your needs As for me I haven't used another gdb frontend than ddd for quite a while so you already know what I think. I realy find ddd an assistant of great value. You could also use both, for a quick debugging seesion launch the KDevelop integrated frontend, for more hard to find bugs that need a bit more detailed debugging use ddd. I'm just presenting you with the tools I use, the way each one of us uses them eventualy is a matter of personal preference.

Thanks You have given me a lot to think about. I have saved your suggestions and will try to upgrad my ddd as you suggested on my backup computer. I have a lot at stake in my program, and not being very confident in my ability in this knd of things I go slowly.

As i said I have used ddd in the past. I just could not display string variables. I even got used to "vi".

I even got used to "vi".

I on the other hand never did, I use joe instead. I just can't remember these ESC+qwzy^[my dog's age] shortcuts. Oh well I'm not too smart anyway

@yop: nice link - I'll try it.

I'm also using vim - the first one or two weeks are hard but then it's just wonderful. Maybe we should open a editor / debugger / other tools thread

Edit: Why use ESC that's somewhat far away - I use [ctrl]+[{] much better on my keybord

I think this is the one they use in KDevelop, I'm not sure though

I think we've made our choices But I'm sure the topic will come up eventually.

I know that you realize that I trully respect vi, it's brought up many generations of unix hackers, but I never had to use it since I'm relatively new (3 "fultime" years and still using Suse ) to the linux community and there were many alternatives around
I've seen holy wars starting from posts like mine and I thought it was funny when I posted, now I realize it could be misunderstood.
