People,<br><br>I've been working my way through a number of little hiccups that I'm sure are pretty typical for first-timers. I'd like to suggest a couple of topics that could be added to a Troubleshooting section on the techbase pages.<br>
<br>If you agree to the idea and to the points I list, I could write them up for your review before adding them to the "Getting started" page(s).<br><br>I believe that whatever trouble comes from me not having the appropriate proxy settings configured in IE before letting the installer do its thing. The MSVC 2005 Express installer that is invoked by the installer goes and downloads a bunch of stuff from MSDN. For this to work, the proxy settings in IE have to be set properly. If you are running this from home and your IE is still set up as it was when you were at work inside your company's WAN, this step is going to fail. <br>
<br>As for the actual items I suggest adding in a Troubleshooting section:<br>1) running emerge [package] generates a number of CMAKE errors ==> configure CMAKE with %KDEROOT\bin\CMakeSetup.exe<br>2) running CMakeSetup fails with "cannot open file 'user32.lib'" somewhere in the error message ==> the MS Platform SDK has not been installed. Run %KDEDIRS%\packages\PSDK-x86.exe<br>
<br>That'll do for now.<br><br>Cheers,<br><br>Michael<br>
