KateBuild is a modification of the make plugin in kdeaddons, primarily used for building and compiling projects in the Kate editor.
Furthermore, the software allows users to run the make/make target/quick compile function, making the use of the plugin a breeze. Users can also benefit from the more comprehensive parsing of make output that this plugin offers. The software even boasts of better parsing of compiler output, tested with gcc.
When run, make output as well as the compiler's output is parsed and used to generate a useful list of errors and warnings. Should a user choose an error/warning in the list, this software effortlessly opens the file containing the error and puts the focus on the line that contains the issue.
In the latest release of KateBuild, the software has been made even more robust, thanks to some crucial fixes to a few crashes experienced on run-time. The new version features an added break command that allows users to cancel a running build with ease. Overall, KateBuild is an excellent tool for anyone seeking to simplify the process of building projects.
