\mainpage The TDevelop %API %Documentation

TDevelop is an easy to use IDE (Integrated Development Environment) for developing applications under X11.

\section intro Introduction

This document is targeted at all those that want to add or improve TDevelop's source code.
If you are instead looking for a user manual, just go to the help menu of your TDevelop and select TDevelop handbook.
This documentation contains the TDevelop online class reference for the current
development version of TDevelop.  Additionally, you
can subscribe or read the <a href="http://www.kdevelop.org/index.html?filename=mailinglist.html">mailing list</a> for any additions and/or
modifications to the %API.

An on-line, updated every 24H, html version of this documentation can be found at: http://www.kdevelop.org/HEAD/doc/api/html/index.html

More information about the TDevelop architecture in form of tutorials, HOWTOs,
and FAQs can be found at
the <a href="http://www.kdevelop.org">TDevelop website</a>.


\section status Current Status

Here you can see the current \ref requirements and the \ref features.
There is also a \ref LangSupportStatus (doc/api/LangSupportStatus.dox file) page and a \ref EditorsSupportStatus (doc/api/EditorsSupportStatus.dox file) page.

  -# fix the bugs in the \ref bug
  -# fix the dispersed \ref todo all over the code.
  .
There are some \ref unmaintained parts in TDevelop. You migth want to "adopt" one. :)\n
There is also \ref FutureTasks (doc/api/FutureTasks.dox file). Put all ideas for the future TDevelop releases there. It is also a good place to comment on those ideas.

\section howTobuildAPIlocalcopy How to build a local copy of this documentation

This documentation is very large and changes with every cvs commit, therefore is not available for download.
To build your local copy of this documentation you have two choices, depending on your system configuration.
  - If you have doxygen >= 1.3.4 , PHP >= 4.10 and a local running webserver then
    - make apidox
    - make install-apidox (as root)
    .
  - If you have an older system then
    - setenv TDEDIR=/location_of_your_kde_instalation
    - setenv TQTDIR=/location_of_your_qt_instalation
    - doxygen Doxyfile
    - make install-apidox (as root)
    .
  .

The advantage of the first method is that you'll get a search engine in your documentation if you read your
documentation using your local webserver.
