The first step is to teach KDevelop about targets in your Makefiles. There are two ways to do that: selecting individual Makefile targets, and choosing a set of targets you may want to build frequently. For both approaches, open
the Projects tool by clicking on the Projects button on the perimeter of KDevelop's main window (if you don't have this button see above how to add a tool's button there). The Projects tool window has two parts: the top half — titled Projects — lists all of your projects and let's you expand the underlying directory trees. The bottom half — titled Project Selection — lists a subset of those projects that will be built if you choose the menu item Project -> Build selection or hit F8; we'll come back to this part below.
