[Digikam-users] Compiling 1.0.0 for KDE 4.3.4 for Windows

[Peter Shute]

I'm starting from scratch on a different computer so I can play with this without worrying about losing any data.  I'm trying to follow the instructions at http://www.digikam.org/drupal/node/402.  Can anyone please explain why this isn't working for me?

The first difference I see compared to the screen shots in those instruction is at the second step.  The screen shots show a choice of  MinGW or MSVC compilers.  But I get a choice of MinGW4, MinGW, or MSVC 32 bit.  The instructions say to choose MinGW, so that's what I did.  Is that correct?

At the 4th step (i.e. 4th row of screen shots) it says to select the gcc-minw compiler from the devel-tools, but the closest thing I see is just called gcc.  Is that correct?

Then it suggests I could include the pre-compiled digiKam from the KDE group, but it isn't there.  It says this is optional and doesn't, but this makes me worried now.

It says to download kdebase, kdeedu, kdelibs, kdepimlibs, and kdesdk from the KDE grouip.  None of these are there, so I can't even proceed by guessing.

Any suggestions, anyone?  Should I be using a different compiler now?  If I choose MinGW4 or MSVC 32 bit I can find kdebase-apps, kdebase-runtime and kde-workspace. Are they, or one one them, the equivalent of kdebase?  In either case, kdesk is still not available.

I'm out of my depth here, so I feel that trying to guess my way any further is not going to be successful.
