installing KDE4 on Windows

[Alexander Neundorf]

Hi,

once again this nice topic ;-)
I see two open issues:

1) What about the proposed LIB_INSTALL_DIR hack ?

IF(WIN32)
   SET(LIB_INSTALL_DIR  ${LIB_INSTALL_DIR}
                     RUNTIME DESTINATION ${BIN_INSTALL_DIR}
                     ARCHIVE DESTINATION ${LIB_INSTALL_DIR}
                     LIBRARY DESTINATION ${LIB_INSTALL_DIR}

ENDIF(WIN32)

Does it work ?
Objections against committing this ?


2) Install locations in general: under UNIX it is possible to specify separate 
locations for every "component": LIB_INSTALL_DIR, BIN_INSTALL_DIR, 
INCLUDE_INSTALL_DIR, SHARE_INSTALL_PREFIX etc. They don't need to be 
installed under a common prefix on UNIX.
What about Windows ?
It seems under Windows everything *has* to be installed under the same 
prefix ?
At least kdelibs/CMakeLists.txt contains that ugly hack at the end which set 
the various variables for the install locations for the 
KDE4LibDependencies.cmake file to locations below a common KDE4_INSTALL_DIR. 
This *completely* ignores the values to which these install variables have 
actually been set, IOW it is broken and can't stay that way.
I see two options:
a) install everything under a common prefix (under Windows)
   then this code becomes cleaner, but it won't be possible anymore to specify
   e.g. SHARE_INSTALL_PREFIX which is outside CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX
b) modify the Windows installer so that it can copy with the
   KDE4LibsDependencies.cmake file as it is created (using the same code 
   as for UNIX)
