You can do that, but the latest vGate uses a pretty old Gate release. 
Your issue might already have been solved in a newer release or in the 
development branch on git.

Nope. I have no experience with kdevelop.

I am only a beginner in Gate but I did some first modifications.

I do not use any GUIs, I just build gate with command line tools. I use 
ccmake instead of cmake, it is a very efficient way to check all 
relevant build settings. Then I use vim to modify code (and if you start 
that in the build directory then you can use ":make" to compile and 
navigate to any code that has problems.

To get help on your it might help to hat is your host system and the 
version of VirtualBox (the program itself, not the vGate file) that you 
installed on it.
