I believe the main dependencies listed in k3b website are available in windows but in really old versions, k3b is my favorite burning software, I would really prefer k3b than others on windows, congrats!<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

Hi all,<br>
<br>
in the blog entry<br>
<a href="http://blog.mandriva.com/2009/03/19/mandriva-helps-porting-k3b-in-qt4/" target="_blank">http://blog.mandriva.com/2009/03/19/mandriva-helps-porting-k3b-in-qt4/</a><br>
there is announced that k3b will be ported to kde4. Based on this work<br>
there were some patches committed to make k3b compilable on windows to<br>
be able to identify where additional porting work is required.<br>
<br>
The recent state is that k3b could be build (at least with msvc), could<br>
be started and the gui is mostly running. Media info could be retrieved<br>
from a real cd (by using the solid fake hw backend[1])<br>
<br>
As far as I can see yet the following things are open:<br>
<br>
- win32 solid support for detecting optical disks (Sebastian Trüg has an<br>
old patch for scanning win32 cdrom's)<br>
- the win32 part of the unbuffered qprocess patch from Sebastian Trüg<br>
has to be implemented in the k3b svn code.<br>
- the required libraries libsamplerate and libdvdcss has been cmakeified<br>
and are added to the emerge build system - they still need more tests<br>
- the optional libcdio library does not have cmake support yet and is<br>
not in the emerge tree.<br>
- also the KURL path()/isLocalFile() problem is present - there are many<br>
places where the wrong path() method is used for local files where<br>
toLocalFile() should be used<br>
- there may be problems for non administrators to access cd drives - may<br>
be someone have a solution for this<br>
- cdrtools/cdrkit has to be emerged<br>
- binary packages should be added to the KDE Win distribution<br>
<br>
Everyone who has an interest to see K3B on Windows in a functional state<br>
is invited to contribute<br>
<br>
Regards<br>

[1] To use the solid fake backend you have to download the file<br>
<a href="http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/KDE/kdelibs/solid/solid/backends/fakehw/fakecomputer.xml?revision=728218&view=markup" target="_blank">http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/KDE/kdelibs/solid/solid/backends/fakehw/fakecomputer.xml?revision=728218&view=markup</a><br>
<br>
<br>
change the term '/dev/hdc' to the drive name of your cd/dvd writer say<br>
'd:' and set the environment variable SOLID_FAKEHW to the full path of<br>
the adapted file e.g.<br>
<br>
SOLID_FAKEHW=E:\daten\kde\emerge-msvc-root\tmp\k3b-20090328\work\msvc2005-Debug\fakecomputer.xml<br>
