[Terry Gray <twgray2007@xxxxxxxxx>]

As a new addition to this group I have a question.  What are the 
prevalent dev. environments used by the primary Kicad developers. This 
might seem an inconsequential query, but I have a good reason for 
asking.  As far as I can discern (and I am hoping you guys can help 
clear this up for me) the current project structure doesn't seem to lend 
itself to the normal edit, build, debug cycle.  At least as far as I can 
tell.  The built executables won't execute in place with them in their 
corresponding project directories...that is to say, Kicad will execute 
but it can't instantiate eeschema because it can't find all the 
libraries.  I am currently performing a make install, to a local 
directory, to keep from corrupting my working installation, and I can 
debug from there but I can't edit interactively since the embedded .elf 
code isn't the original source.  Can someone clear this up for me?
