<p>Oof, I didn't realize you were on Windows. I have no clue how
Qt and KDE development works there since I don't use Windows
anymore. If you're trying to code an application for Windows
specifically, you'll probably need help from someone who knows
how KDE app development works on Windows.<br>

of KF5Archive)) and the "kzip.h" header file for usage with

<p>What distro are you using?</p>
<p>In order to install a library in such a way that
you can use it in new programs, you have to install
both it and its development header files. There are
generally two ways to do this:</p>
<p>* The easy way - install the development header
package for your library of choice through your
distro's package manager.<br clear="none">
* The hard, dangerous way that you probably don't
want yet - build the library from source and then
either install it directly or figure out how to
point your build system to it.</p>
<p>Obviously I'd recommend the former if you're just
getting started. On Ubuntu, the package you want is
called "libkf5archive-dev", and can be installed
with "sudo apt install libkf5archive-dev". This will
probably work on Debian too. If you're on some other
distro, you'll need to find and install the right
package.</p>
