This is a break of the configure process!

You could download the libraries here:
http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages.html
use the "Developer files".

When you've installed them some where on your system
(in future there will by a path where it will be
found automatically) then call

1. generate kdewin32 build files erzeugen:


2. build kdewin32.lib
nmake

3. generate kdelibs build files:
cmake -G"NMake Makefiles" ..\kdelibs
   or
cmakesetup

cmakesetup this starts a user interface for the paths.
You could also edit CMakeCache.txt.

To restart delete CMakeCache.txt.

to select a specific library edit /kdelibs/CMakeLists.txt
add the end. e.g.:
add_subdirectory( dcop )
#add_subdirectory( libltdl )

4. build kdelibs:
nmake



Good Luck,
Peter
