Setting Up Objective-C with Kdevelop

Does anyone know how to setup Objective-C with KDevelop? I've been searching and searching for a supposed "patch", which is supposed to integrate support in with the IDE, 开发者_StackOverflow社区yet I haven't been able to find it.

This has been partially treated on StackOverflow already. Apart from the discussion over there, I sometimes use Emacs besides Xcode. I use Emacs for most of my editing and coding needs, and it comes with a nice Objective-C mode. Autocompletion in Xcode is the big selling point, but I just found out there is an answer on Stackoverflow as well. I haven't tried it yet, but it might be worth checking out.

I would go to GnuStep.org, and ask this question on their mailing list. They're the guys who do the most obj-c development on Linux that I know of.

I'm also interesting in developing on Linux using Objective-C. Due to the success of the language on Apple platforms, there are an increasing number of skilled Objective-C Developers whose efforts could benefit OSS if only the gap in Linux tooling were closed.

GNUstep is a fantastic effort and, along with LLVM and Clang, goes much of the way to achieving this. But: there is no modern IDE which supports Objective-C in Linux. ProjectCenter is the official GNUstep IDE but honestly it is showing its age.

JetBrains seem to be in the best position to change this situation: they are producers of the foremost Objective-C IDE for iOS: AppCode, and have just released a C/C++ IDE for Linux called CLion. If enough interest is shown, perhaps they would consider integrating Objective-C support from AppCode into CLion. Compiling against GNUstep, this would breathe new life into cross-platform Objective-C development.

I would encourage anyone interested in this possibility, to sign into JetBrains request tracker and vote for this issue: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/CPP-3353
