 ====== Use KDevelop with Existing Build Configuration ======
-If you have previously built your application manually or with the aid of the [[getting_started:install_and_setup_development_environment#Getting_the_Sources_with_a_Script|EEROS build scripts]], you can import the configuration into KDevelop as follows:
-  - Import the project by choosing the ''CMakeLists.txt'' of your project.
+Using an integrated development environment for developing EEROS applications is highly recommended. You have all the features such as source code lookup, code completion or automatic compiling.
-  - Right click on the project and open the project configuration panel.
-  - Choose the build directory of the previously built application as your build directory
+If you have previously built your application manually or with the aid of the [[https://github.com/eeros-project/eeros-build-scripts.git|EEROS scripts]], you can import the configuration into KDevelop as follows:
+  - Import the project by choosing the ''CMakeLists.txt'' of your project, eg. //workingDirectory/hello/CMakeLists.txt// or //workingDirectory/simple-motor-control/CMakeLists.txt//.
+  - This will automatically open the project configuration panel.
+  - Choose the build directory of the previously built application as your build directory, e.g. //workingDirectory/build-x86/hello// or //workingDirectory/build-x86/simple-motor-control// {{ :getting_started:kdev-build-config.png?600 |}}
   - Leave the entries for install directory, build type, and extra arguments empty. These settings will be fetched from the existing CMake configuration in your build directory.
   - Click ''Ok''
   - Build
-If you are using ROS in your applications make sure that you fullfill the necessary steps described in [[getting_started:ros#Preparations_and_Building|ROS: Preparations and Building]].
+===== No Existing Build Configuration =====
+If there is no existing build configuration yet, do as follows
+  - Import the project by choosing the ''CMakeLists.txt'' of your project, eg. //workingDirectory/eeros/CMakeLists.txt// or //workingDirectory/helloWorld/CMakeLists.txt//.
+  - This will automatically open the project configuration panel.
+  - Choose a meaningful build directory, e.g. //workingDirectory/build-x86/eeros// or //workingDirectory/build-x86/helloWorld//.
+  - Enter an entry for the install directory, e.g. //workingDirectory/install-x86//.
+  - Choose a build type.
+  - Click ''Ok''
+  - Build
+IMPORTANT If you are using ROS in your applications make sure that you fullfill the necessary steps described in [[getting_started:ros#Preparations_and_Building|ROS: Preparations and Building]].
