Description sven.leo 2014-04-29 07:18:47 UTC

After creating a new Simple CMake-based C++ application these error-messages appear:

"Could not load project management plugin KDevCMakeManager"

followed by:

"project import plugin (KDevCMakeManager) does not support the IProjectFileManager interface."

Then the process stops, it won't ask me for build settings, and there is also no project in the project-viewer. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Follow these steps to create a new C++ project shown here http://userbase.kde.org/KDevelop4/FAQ#How_do_I_do_start_new_console_application.3F
2. Clicking "Finish" makes the error messages appear
Actual Results:  
error-messages:

"Could not load project management plugin KDevCMakeManager"

followed by:

"project import plugin (KDevCMakeManager) does not support the IProjectFileManager interface."

Expected Results:  
ask for build settings, add project to projects list

Set-up:

- Freshly set up Kubuntu 14.04 64bit system from completely formatted hard-drive
- KDELibs ver. 4.13.0
- KDevelop 4.6.0 (Installed from the Muon Discover Software Center)
- KDE Development Platform 4.13.0
- There is noting else on this machine, but Kubuntu, Wifi and NVIDIA drivers, and KDevelop!

Try running "sudo kbuildsycoca4 --global" or just "kbuildsycoca4" as user.

Probably something went wrong while kdevelop got installed (did you interrupt the install?).

No, I did not interrupt the installation process, which finished without any problems.

I ran the command which printed "kbuildsycoca4 running..." but nothing changed after that. Still the same error messages

The error message is just crap and doesn't say what is actually going on.

It is caused by there being no cmake installed on the system, also see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdevelop/+bug/807386.

You can run
  sudo apt-get install cmake
to fix this issue.

@Harald Sitter (comment #3): thanks a lot, installing cmake fixed it.
The error message is awful indeed.

Comment 5 GiovanniES 2014-05-31 18:13:18 UTC

In my case, the project was created, but a very simple and incomplete one that couldn't be built. Installing cmake fixed the problem.
