If you're interested in cross-platform C++ development, you may be familiar with KDevelop. If you don't know, KDevelop is a cross-platform C++ Integrated Development Environment (IDE). With all necessary developer tools, KDevelop makes it easy to write and test your code.
In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing KDevelop on NetBSD.
To complete this tutorial, you'll need the following:
The first step is to update the NetBSD package repository using the following command:
pkgin update
Since KDevelop isn't available in the default NetBSD repository, we need to add an additional package repository. We'll use 'pkgsrc-wip' repository for this. Run the following command to add 'pkgsrc-wip' to your existing package repository.
echo "http://pkgsrc.joyent.com/packages/NetBSD/amd64/7.1.2_2018Q4/All" >> /usr/pkg/etc/pkgin/repositories.conf
Now it's time to download and install KDevelop. Run the following command to install KDE desktop environment and other required dependencies for KDevelop:
pkgin install meta-pkgs/kde4
Run this command to install KDevelop:
pkgin install kdevelop
You can verify that KDevelop has been successfully installed by running the following command:
kdevelop
If KDevelop starts without any error, then you're all set.
Congratulations! You've successfully installed KDevelop on NetBSD. You can now begin your cross-platform C++ development with KDevelop.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
