Hi Satish: How about changing the 'default parent directory' configuration ? This may work, as KDevelop maintains all the projects under a common directory. Suppose you were to move your Kdevelop project from your laptop running Kubuntu 7.10 to your desktop running Kubuntu 7.10, then all that would need to be changed is the 'default parent directory'. What are your thoughts ? thanks Saifi. Hi Saifi, That doesn't seem to solve the issue. Posting here so that anyone with this problem will find it useful. This is what I did: 1. Create a simple HelloWorld program in KDevelop under the default parent directory 2. Copy the entire project in the default parent directory of a different user on the same machine. 3. When I open this with KDevelop, I see all the paths were set to previous configuration and the project refused to build. 4. I changed the paths manually in the project files (particularly ..kdevelop, .kdevses, Doxyfile files, you can check with "grep -lir <your previous project home> *" to see which files have this directory name) and emptied the "debug" directory. Now every thing works! -- Satish Vellanki http://cs.ttu.edu/~savellan/
