<div dir="ltr"><p class="MsoNormal">Hi everyone! </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Working on "KStars on Windows" project, I met some challenges and now I have some questions that I can't find the answers. I would really appreciate any help from KDE-Windows team.<br>After I successfully built KStars, I've
got two folders with "kstars.exe" inside (only kstars.exe"
inside actually): </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">-
C:\K\build\kde\kstars\work\msvc2015-RelWithDebInfo-master\bin AND </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">-
C:\K\build\kde\kstars\image-msvc2015-RelWithDebInfo-master\bin</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I tried to run "kstars.exe" from inside both of
them and the execution failed due to various missing DLLs. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">1.) Is this normal? Shouldn't all dependencies needed by KStars be automatically solved by emerge tool?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In order to run "kstars.exe" I needed to manually add all required DLLs inside those two directories. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">2.) Another question is: Why those two "kstars.exe"
run differently? The file from "work" folder lacks lot of functionality,
while the other "kstars.exe" runs perfectly, keeping the entire
functionality.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">3.) But, at the same time, I have another "kstars.exe"
file inside "C:\K\bin" directory, that runs without requiring to copy
all those DLLs. I added KStars icons using "emerge --update kstars", after I modified the "kstars.py" file. The changes have been applied only on this "kstars.exe" from "C:\K\bin" and not to the other two as well. Why? Is this normal? If not, please tell me, how could I update the other two executable files as well?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><br></p><p class="MsoNormal">Secondly, I tried to package KStars, but because all those
DLLs were missing, the installer I've got was not functional at all. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Until now I thought that "emerge --package kstars"
will do the entire packaging job for me. This means it should automatically collect
all files needed by "kstars.exe" in order to run. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">4) How could I actually get this functionality and what I've
made wrong? (or how should be done this job)<br>Thanks in advance!</p><p class="MsoNormal"><br>Best regards, </p><p class="MsoNormal">Raphael</p></div>
