Here is a description of <br>> what I have achieved, and where I have failed:<br>> <br>> kde-installer using mingw works fine, although I can only find a stable <br>> release, ie version 0.16.2 of okular. I also managed to use <br>> kde-installer under wine then build using mingw cross-compilation. I'm <br>> pretty keen on cross-compilation as I want to produce regular builds of <br>> work I am doing based on okular, and the fewer boxes I need to do this <br>> the better. So if I could use get kde-installer to find an 'unstable' <br>> release I'd be happy.<br>> <br>> I then tried using kdesrc-build with cross-compilation on the <br>> kf5-minimum branch. I made quite a bit of progress here with just a few <br>> patches and managed to get 47 out of 61 packages to build. Those that <br>> wouldn't build all seemed to have problems with various QT5 cmake <br>> configuration files, and my knowledge of cmake and qmake was just not <br>> enough so I abandoned this path. I'd still love to make this work, so if <br>> anyone feels like lending a hand, I'd be happy to pick it up again.<br>> <br>> So finally I gave in and tried to build under windows using emerge. <br>> However my build fell apart with some kind of patch file problem that I <br>> described (in the wrong place I'm guessing - 130 views and no responses) <br>> here: https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=107&t=131006 Once again I'm <br>> a bit lost on how to proceed, and given that others seem to be able to <br>> make emerge work, I'm hoping that someone can help with this problem.<br>> <br>> Many thanks,<br>> <br>> Jonathan<br>> <br>> _______________________________________________<br>> Kde-windows mailing list<br>> Kde-windows@kde.org<br>> https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-windows<br></div> </div></body>
