I think I found the problem with kdevelop and it appears to reside in Qt5. I've been writing code with Qt and so when I upgraded to kdevelop5 I naturally upgraded Qt to Qt5. And that's when the problems started. However, I just switched back to Qt4 in kdevelop5, instead of using the new Qt5, and then kdevelop5 now appears to work fine. I can work with this and perhaps, at some point in the future, I can upgrade to Qt5 once things have settled down a bit. /gary On 19-03-08 11:03 AM, Gary wrote:

Does anyone here use kdevelop? I just downloaded the latest version and when I set breakpoints (yes the Makefile sets the -g option) kdevelop recognizes the breakpoint by colouring the line but then when debugging it skips right to the very last line of code, thus ignoring my breakpoints. I searched the web and could not get a satisfactory answer.

I've been using the older version kdevelop4 for more than two years without any problems whatsoever. In desperation I tried to retrieve this old version of kdevelop4 to a new computer running kubuntu 18.04, where I'm having the problem, and so much has changed that I could not get the lib packages that it depended on. Thus I would likely have to downgrade my kubuntu version as well (sigh...)

kdevelop4 was working so well and now this!!@|!!. /gary
