Hi Ralf,<br /><br />Referring to the article at
http://webdev.cegit.de/snapshots/kde-cygwin/kde/kde3.4/ to get KDE running
on cygwin, I have tried everything to get it started but unfortunately it
does not. I also noticed couple of instructions missing from the article.
Maybe you should add the following 2 instructions before point 3. <br
/><br />wget -nd
http://webdev.cegit.de/snapshots/kde-cygwin/kde/kde3.4/qt-x11-free-3.3.4-0.tar.bz2<br
/><br />tar -C / -xjf qt-x11-free-3.3.4-0.tar.bz2<br /><br
