Hi,

You don't locate anything "in" KDevelop.
Via your Makefile.am, you install images used by your application. They should 
be installed in a standard KDE dir like $KDEDIR/share/apps/myApp/pics
using something like:
picsdir = $(kde_datadir)/myApp/pics
pics_DATA = myPic.png
(note that usually it's best to have a subfolder called pics in your src 
folder and put all the images here)

In your code, you will put:
#include <kstandarddirs.h>
and get the myPic.png like:
locate("data","myApp/pics/myPic.png");

In KDevelop, don't forget to run 
'make install' via the Build menu -> Install (or Install as root depending of 
your configuration)
so myPic is indeed installed and your code can find it.

Hope this answers your question.
