Please check out the installer. We're happy to hear some feedback of you guys!

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.

Luckily you can disable the variable coloring completely in KDevelop :)
