[Kde-bindings] Compiling smoke and qtruby on windows

[Tom Paschenda]

Hi all!
I have been trying to compile QtRuby 2.0.3 with Qt 4.5.1 under windows (and
have by now only partly succeeded).

There are quite a few problems, most of which were already described by Jan
Wedekind
http://rubyforge.org/forum/forum.php?thread_id=31155&forum_id=723
and Ilmar Kruis
http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-bindings&m=120985354224978&w=2

Another problem that has been described by David Palacio
http://mail.kde.org/pipermail/kde-windows/2009-April/003657.html
is the following

Kalyptus puts the following lines into one of the x_*.cpp files
    qint64 xret = this->QProcess::pid();
    x[0].s_long = xret;
which - in win32 - will not work, as the return type of QProcess::pid()
istypedefed to _PROCESS_INFORMATION* (see
http://doc.qtsoftware.com/4.5/qprocess.html#Q_PID-typedef).
I guess it should be replaced with
    _PROCESS_INFORMATION* xret = this->QProcess::pid();
    x[0].s_voidp = (void*)xret;

This can of course be fixed by editing the according x_*.cpp file. However,
if one afterwards runs into another problem that requires re-running
kalyptus, the manual fix has to be repeated.
While the same is true for the already known problem, that "#include
<dom/qdom.h>" does not work, the latter one can at least be permanently
fixed by creating an additional link-header under QTDIR/include/QtXml/dom.

Are there plans to fix above issues, so that smoke can be compiled under
win32 without manual editing of generated files?
If there are not, I would happily do that, however my knowledge of the
smoke/QtRuby build process is still quite limited. Any help would be
appreciated.

Tom
