SUMMARY
***
I'm new to Linux.  I installed KDevelop from the Kubuntu packages and created a basic helloworld c++ project that won't compile because of missing pakages:

find_package(KDE4 REQUIRED)
find_package(KDevPlatform REQUIRED)

OBSERVED RESULT
Project does not compile

EXPECTED RESULT
Project compiles

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: Not sure where to find this
KDE Frameworks Version: Not sure where to find this
Qt Version: Not sure where to find this

KDevelop version: 4:21.12.3-0ubuntu1  This seems odd, it's not listed in the version drop down.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Sorry for the basic information, I thought that the software being installed from the Kubuntu Software Discover Center would work.

KDevelop is working as expected here, the "problem" is that there is a dependency missing for the project you are building.

I assume you created a new project from a template, but that template doesn't seem to be what you wanted. It seems to be about creating a plugin for KDevelop, not a generic Hello World C++ project
