KDevelop has a new release 4.6 http://kdevelop.org/46/kdevelop-460-final-released

I would like to install this on Ubuntu 13.04 (or Ubuntu 13.10 if that would be easier) The proper way to install package on Ubuntu is using apt-get. So I tried : 

sudo apt-get install kdevelop

Unfortunately this installs KDevelop 4.5. On the KDevelop site are a huge list of instructions. Error prone and time consuming. http://techbase.kde.org/KDevelop4/HowToCompile

Can KDevelop 4.6 be installed using apt-get? If so, how ?

  • I Updated to Ubuntu 13.10 This is my Virtualbox client. My virtualbox guest addition was lost during the update. I installed the guest addition again (this time very easy). But it did not work. Virtualbox host 4.3 was requered, I had Virtualbox 4.2. The first apt-get update failed, Virtualbox was downgraded to 4.1.12, The second attempt first reading https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads and the executing – Bernard Feb 09 '14 at 16:37

  • Installation of KDEvelop version 4.6.0 was successful. But debug (F9) is not possible. I get the message "The current launch configuration does not support the 'debug' mode." This seems to be a KDevelop bug which I reported in https://bugs.kde.org . This is an other problem (question) however. Just info for other readers who might try the above steps. – Bernard Feb 27 '14 at 10:48
