KDevelop is an IDE, Qt is an application development framework. So in fact
your relation cannot make sense to begin with.
Qt is an application framework with a design and build philosophy of
.pro, qmake and moc. Every book I have seen on development with Qt,
including my own <http://theminimumyouneedtoknow.com/> adheres to the
path. KDevelop never used to which is why I excluded it from this book
<http://theminimumyouneedtoknow.com/qt_book.html> which covered
QtCreator, Monkey Studio, QDevelop and Eclipse using the Qt plug-in.
As it stands I did install KDevelop and attempted to use it. Still not
an option at least as far as I can determine. Technically it is an IDE,
but, it doesn't have access to the Designer _and_ the designer isn't in
its own installation package _and_ as other messages in this list have
pointed out, unless you build all of Qt from source you cannot really
build the Designer. You can do a lot of hacking to get QtCreator to
build, but, once again, will not have a designer.
Yes, I have built Qt from source probably more than a hundred times.
This particular machine has repo kits installed and I don't wish to try
backing them out because I find they never quite remove everything and
at this point I do not feel compelled to do a clean wipe with fresh
spartan install.
Most likely my experience with KDevelop pre-dates yours. My first
exposures to it was back when it supported every language anyone could
think of. It came with a monolithic build environment which had to be
pulled down and installed to do practically anything. Putting this time
frame in perspective for everyone:
* SuSE didn't have "open" in front of it. You paid $90 and got a box
shipped to you which had some floppies and a printed manual. You
then had to maintain a dial-up connection for hours to pull down
everything SuSE insisted on installing. RPM was (and probably still
is) absolutely worthless when it comes to lost dial-up connection
mid installation. When one needed to utilize KDevelop it meant many
more hours of dial-up.
* OS/2 Warp was still in wide use on ATMs and several major IBM
customers like Sears.
* Only a tiny few markets had the option of cable Internet access.
* They were called "car phones" not "cell phones" or "mobile phones"
because they were installed into cars. There were only a few
"luggable" phones, one of which was a Panasonic "boat phone" which I
owned but cannot find a picture of now.
That was the era when I first ventured into KDevelop. It was at the tail
end of the Zinc Application Framework (ZAF)
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zinc_Application_Framework> era after
Wind River bought it for their own OS and Qt was just venturing out of
the womb. I was forced to use KDevelop a few times after that and moving
from a stand alone build to something which worked inside of KDevelop
always involved great pain. Perhaps a large part of that pain was making
the app fit into a KDE build. Been long time.
Personally I was shocked to see both COBOL and FORTRAN were dropped from
KDevelop since there is an incredibly large payroll processor using
COBOL on Linux and Unix as well as a few others using quite a bit of
FORTRAN, but that is different tale.
Please don't do sweeping attacks (citing "qtcreator is broken", "KDE crowd
used to be so adamant about keeping 'their' process") without explanation and
proofs.
Please don't scope quotes. I said qtcreator is broken on KDE Neon 5.8.6
which is true as others on this list have pointed out.

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
