Implementation
Most KDE software uses the Qt framework which runs on most Unix and Unix-like systems, Mac OS X, and Microsoft Windows. As of 2011 CMake serves as the build tool. This allows KDE to support a wider range of platforms, including Microsoft Windows. GNU gettext is used for translation. Doxygen is used to generate api documentation.
- KDE Software Compilation: KDE Software Compilation (KDE SC) is the coordinated releases of new software versions, gathering elements from the previous components to build an integrated core of software. The KDE SC is not a product as a single entity.
- Calligra Suite: Integrated office suite.
- KDEWebdev: Web development tools.
- KDE-Extragear: Extragear is a collection of applications associated with KDE. Those applications are not part the official software compilation, but they are still part of the project.
- KDE-Playground: This package contains pre-release and unstable software. It is a place for applications to mature.
