Calligra on Windows: QtDBus

hello all,
I'm new in the development of KDE/Calligra, so I think that my
suggestions may not be the best one, but since I encountered the same
problem two weeks ago and I solved it somehow, I share my simple solution.
From what I observed, the emerge tool downloads the source for the
libdbusmenu-qt version 0.9.2 that are the same that I found at the
following link:
https://launchpad.net/libdbusmenu-qt (I think it is the official site of
dbusmenu-qt library).
This package is not suitable for building with Visual Studio as it is.
At the following link
http://windows.kde.org/download.php.
you can download an installer that allows you to install many components
of KDE on Windows.
During installation process you can choose to download also/only the
sources of KDE components (and their dependencies).
I downloaded the sources for libdbusmenu-qt. The version is 0.9.0 that
is sufficient to continue the building process. I used it instead of the
one downloaded by emerge tool.
I suppose that the same changes that are present in the sources
downloaded by kdewin-installer can be merged into libdbusmenu-qt version
0.9.2.
