/**
\mainpage The KDevelop %API Documentation

KDevelop 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 KDevelop's source code.
If you are instead looking for a user manual, just go to the help menu of your KDevelop and select KDevelop handbook.
This documentation contains the KDevelop online class reference for the current
development version of KDevelop.  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://developer.kde.org/documentation/library/cvs-api/kdevelop/html/index.html

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

  -# fix the bugs in the \ref bug
  -# fix the dispersed \ref todo all over the code.
  .
There are some \ref unmaintained parts in KDevelop. You migth want to "adopt" one. :)\n
There is also \ref FutureTasks (doc/api/FutureTasks.dox file). Put all ideas for the future KDevelop 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 KDE >= 3.2 , 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 KDEDIR=/location_of_your_kde_instalation
    - setenv QTDIR=/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.
