            Bug ID: 342481
           Summary: Provide Build Instructions for Windows
           Product: digikam
           Version: 4.6.0
          Platform: MS Windows
                OS: MS Windows
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: digikam-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: kde.bugs at wolki.de

I am trying (again) to build my own digikam binary from sources. My last
attempt (#340286) failed because of outdated instructions. I'm having not much
more luck this time. I would like to request more detailed build instructions
than what's on this page: https://www.digikam.org/download/tarball

I tried Downloading the tarball and executing `bootstrap.msvc.bat`. Here is
what failed so far and that should be in some kind of "HowTo".

* It failed for the lack of *cmake* (which is normal on a fresh windows
install), so i installed that from http://www.cmake.org/.
* It then didn't find *KDE* (which i gathered from reading the .bat file, which
is not part of windows). I installed it from https://windows.kde.org/ (4.10.2
in my case)
* It then complained that there's no *compiler* (which is also not available by
default on windows). I installed the Visual Studio Community Edition 2013,
available here: http://www.visualstudio.com/downloads/download-visual-studio-vs

Now it complains about missing *kde4-config* - and i can't find how i would get
that? It's not available in the KDE (expert mode) installer. I can't locate a
binary or something similar for windows.

Can anyone help me get started developing Digikam?



Reproducible: Always




(i view "build system broken" (or undocumented) as a major flaw in an open
source project, hence i categorized it as major.)
