I have succesfully merged the KDevelop package, but when I run the setup and get to the screen that wants to set up the documentation, it says it can't find the library source.

Now as I understand it, the way Gentoo works, is to unpack a package, compile the source, then repack the package. Well, doesn't this mean that there are no sources around for KDevelop to create documentation for?

is the solution to manually unpack the lib package to get at the source? If so, where should I unpack the source too? Or perhaps it only needs to be unpacked long enough to generate the documentation?

That's what I did. You'll find all of the packages gentoo downloads inside /usr/portage/distfiles. But even after I did that, the interface isn't totally intuitive, and it took me a few times to get it to work. More luck than anything, so I can't tell you what got it to work because I dont remember.

Thanks for the help AnimalMachine.

Was there anywhere special you unpacked the libs too?

I'm not sure what the 'unix' way of doing it is, but I unpacked mine into /opt.

Boy this is getting a bit annoying!

I unpacked the source, pointed the setup to the right spot and everything appeard to go ok.

Now I am on the next tab of the setup where KDevelop wants to create the index files. I Click the 'Start indexing' button and receive a message box with the text:

"The KDE-Documentation-Path isn't set correctly."

Any ideas on what this is referring to? Is it an environment variable I need to set up? I attempted to add /usr/kde/3/share/apps/kdevelop/KDE-Documentation/ to the "additional directories to index" list but it's still unhappy.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

well, it doesnt matter where you unpack the kdelibs tar file, because all it does it quick run kdoc on them to generate the documentation... afterwards its fine to just go and delete them... however, im still having the same problems as you guys with kdevelop actually using the documentation
in fact, in all the various distributions ive used kdevelop, its never allowed me to use the kde documentation, instead it always dies with that error about the kde-documentation path not being correctly set.
what gives?

Not sure ... Mine just all the sudden magically worked. I fiddled around with it for quite a while (the process is very slow on a p233 laptop) and then all the sudden ... zang! It worked. :lol:
