Compilation of kdevelop-5.0 fails with following error: In file included from /tmp/portage/dev-util/kdevelop-5.0.0/work/kdevelop-5.0/languages/cpp/cpplanguagesupport.cpp:81:0: /tmp/portage/dev-util/kdevelop-5.0.0/work/kdevelop-5.0/languages/cpp/codegen/adaptsignatureassistant.h:45:18: error: ‘virtual void Cpp::AdaptSignatureAssistant::textChanged(KTextEditor::View*, const KTextEditor::Range&, const QString&)’ marked override, but does not override virtual void textChanged(KTextEditor::View* view, const KTextEditor::Range& invocationRange, const QString& removedText = QString()) override; I found that kdevplatform defines base function (kdevplatform-5.0/language/assistant/staticassistant.h, line 82) as: virtual void textChanged(KTextEditor::Document* doc, const KTextEditor::Range& invocationRange, const QString& removedText = QString()) = 0; whereas kdevelop overrides it as (kdevelop-5.0/languages/cpp/codegen/adaptsignatureassistant.h, line 45): virtual void textChanged(KTextEditor::View* view, const KTextEditor::Range& invocationRange, const QString& removedText = QString()) override; Mismatch is with the first argument: KTextEditor::Document* -> KTextEditor::View*) and 'override' modifier causes fail of the compilation.
The build issue is in old-cpp, which is dead. Pass set LEGACY_CPP_SUPPORT=OFF in cmake (or rather, don't set it to ON, it's off by default) and it will work.
