<html><body><div style="color:#000; background-color:#fff; font-family:times new roman, new york, times, serif;font-size:12pt"><div>I got qyoto to build under Windows, but it's not running. Again, I followed the spirit of <span>the instructions that Dimitar previously posted to this list regarding how to build smokegen.</span></div><div><br><span></span></div><div><span>First of all, it appears that qyoto expects smokegen and smokeqt to be installed to the same directory. (It was looking for the smokeqt DLLs in the smokegen directory tree.) So I rebuilt smokegen and installed it in c:\qtcs_stuff\SMOKEQT4 .</span></div><div><span><br></span></div><div><span>DBus doesn't exist under Windows, so I hacked out the references to SMOKE_QTDBUS_LIBRARY and src/qdbus_interop.cpp from CMakeLists.txt . I'm sure there must be a proper way to detect that DBus is missing in the CMake files and to dike this out properly, but I only saw CMake for
the first time a few days ago.<br></span></div><div><span>I had to add ARCHIVE DESTINATION, set to the same value as LIBRARY DESTINATION, in all the places that CMake complained that it was missing.</span></div><div><span>I had to change Q_DECL_IMPORT to Q_DECL_EXPORT on the extern reference to Qyoto_handlers in qyoto.cpp , to avoid linker errors. (This may be a general bug fix.)<br></span></div><div><span>I had to undefine QDESIGNER_UILIB_EXPORT in ui4.h , to avoid linker errors.<br></span></div><div><span><br></span></div><div><span>CMake kept setting CMAKE_CSharp_COMPILER to MS.NET's 2.0 compiler. It was supposedly getting that from the CSC environment variable, though no such variable appears to be defined on my system. I finally hacked the code to find MS.NET's 3.5 compiler. My installation of MonoDevelop apparently didn't come with the Mono C# compilers, which seems weird to
me.</span></div><div><br><span></span></div><div><span>For some reason, the C# compiler ignored the subdirectories that the .cs files were in, and instead tried to find everything at the root. So I just cd'd to the qyoto directory and ran "ln */*.cs ." from MinGW. I had to do that for the qtscript, qttest, qtuitools, and qtwebkit directories too.</span></div><div><br><span></span></div><div><span>After all this, it built, and I installed it to the same directory that contains the smokegen and smokeqt packages.</span></div><div><br><span></span></div><div><span>When I tried to run my C# project with the packages I had just built, it died quickly because it couldn't find libqyoto.dll . There's a libqyoto.dll.a in my bin directory, but the DLL itself it missing. It's in my qyoto build directory, though, so I just copied it myself. But still, it complains that it can't find libqyoto.dll
.<br></span></div><div><br><span></span></div><div><span>-----</span></div><div><br><span></span></div><div><span>So there you go, kdebindings mailing list -- this is where Dimitar and I have gotten to with our attempt to build Qyoto for Windows. I'm sure there are people out there that have proper solutions to a lot of these problems.

For some reason, Smoke_DIR keeps getting set to the location of my built smokegen, instead of my installed smokegen, so I keep having to change it by hand. Finally, I renamed "smokegen-build" to "smokegen-build-installed" and it stopped magically finding that directory.<br></span></div><div><span><br></span></div><div><span>But the biggest obstacle was that the smokeqt cmake files can't handle paths with spaces in them. smokegen was previously installed in "C:\Program Files
(x86)\smokegenerator". I set
CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX to install it in "C:\qtcs_stuff\smokegenerator" and now CMake could find the rest of the files it couldn't find before, e.g. MacroOptionalFindPackage.</span></div><div><br><span></span></div><div><span>Later, during smokeqt cmake configuration, cmTryCompileExec.exe couldn't start because libgcc_s_dw2-1.dl was missing. That was in C:\MinGW\bin, but that wasn't in the Windows PATH variable. So I copied that DLL to CMake's bin directory (i.e. C:\Program Files (x86)\CMake 2.8\bin).</span></div><div><br>
<span></span></div>
<div><span>I
got four warnings about missing packages (QImageBlitz, Qwt5, Phonon,
and QScintilla2); I don't know if any of them are significant.</span></div>
<div><br><span></span></div><div><span>Finally, I could launch Qt Creator and build. I had to hand-edit the installed SmokeConfig.cmake (in C:\qtcs_stuff\smokegenerator\share\smoke\cmake) to add ".exe" to the end of the values for SMOKE_GEN_BIN and SMOKE_API_BIN, because otherwise the various smokedata.cpp files couldn't resolve their dependencies.</span></div><br><div><span>I had to finally add C:\QtSDK\Desktop\Qt\4.7.4\mingw\bin to my Windows PATH variable, because smokegen.exe wouldn't run otherwise.<br></span></div><div><span><br></span></div><div>It took forever to build smokeqt, but eventually it succeeded! There were 589 warnings, most of them related to inline methods that were declared to be dllimport.<br></div><div><br></div><div>On to building qyoto!
