Re: Building kdevelop on Windows 10 with MinGW/gcc

Hi I ran in to the same problem

You need to use MSVC to build it. MingW is not supported. :(

The WinLua Compiler (WLC) is a binary installation of Martin Storsjo's excellent llvm-mingw package found here (https://github.com/mstorsjo/llvm-mingw).
