To start with your KDE application, open KDevelop. From the Project menu, selection New Project. The Application Wizard starts, and you'll see the selection tree on the first page containing available project types that can be created. Choose the C++ subtree, then KDE, then Application Framework.

For our sample project, we are going to create the application KScribble. Enter this as the application name, and change any other information at the bottom of this screen that may need it. Then, select Next.

On this screen you have the ability to decide if your project will use a version control system like CVS. For our sample project we will not use source control, so make sure the selection box reads None and select Next.

The next two pages show example headers that will go at the top of each of the header and source files that you create using KDevelop. For now, just leave these as the default, and select Next, then Finish. If the Finish button is not activated, you haven't set all of the options correct. Use the Back button to return to earlier menus and correct any mistakes.

Upon completion, the Application Wizard should close and the messages window should popup displaying information about the tasks that KDevelop is currently doing. At the end of all of the tasks, you should see **** Success *****. This means the application framework was successfully loaded.
