I hope you'll report back and tell us if it's any good.

Reporting back, both repositories rustc2duchain and kdev-rust don't compile or recent ArchLinux. Incompatible versions of kde and rustc. As I have no idea about KDESDK and no time to investigate it, I find it unusable for now.

  CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:22 (find_package):
  Could not find a configuration file for package "KDevPlatform" that is
  compatible with requested version "4.90.91".

  The following configuration files were considered but not accepted:

    /usr/lib64/cmake/kdevplatform/KDevPlatformConfig.cmake, version: 1.7.3
    /usr/lib/cmake/kdevplatform/KDevPlatformConfig.cmake, version: 1.7.3
    /lib64/cmake/kdevplatform/KDevPlatformConfig.cmake, version: 1.7.3
    /lib/cmake/kdevplatform/KDevPlatformConfig.cmake, version: 1.7.3

Well you need to have a recent version (here: 5.0) of kdevplatform installed. kdevplatform (shell, language agnostic infrastructure, vcs plugins, etc. pp.) is a set of libraries KDevelop is based on.

Get kdevplatform from: git://anongit.kde.org/kdevplatform

Install kdevplatform, kdevelop, kdev-rust, etc. into the same install prefix (-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/foo) and you should be fine.

Also have a look at: https://community.kde.org/KDevelop/HowToCompile_v5#3._Run_KD... for setting up the env before running KDevelop.

Thanks, I'll give it a try again tomorrow.

how'd it go this time?
