kde3-devel howto available ?

[HolgerSchröder]

Hi,

i tried to compile the original kdetoys-3.1.1 package to try if the kde-devel 
package from kde-cygwin.sf.net works, but i can´t get it working.

when i try configure in the kdetoys directory like this:

./configure --with-qt-dir=/KDE3.1/ --with-qt-libraries=/opt/kde3/bin 
--prefix=/opt/kde/

it fails with :

checking if UIC has KDE plugins available... configure: error:not found - you 
need to install kdelibs first.
so i linked /KDE3.1/plugins to /opt/kde3/lib/plugins/ but uic still cannot 
work through the configure test.

what am i doing wrong ?

also i cannot compile an actual cvs checkout of qt-3 head, it had some 
problems in qmake/Makefile, so i had to patch configure to replace 
@OUT_QTPATH@ by $outdir (or something like that). but now it doesn´t want to 
build moc...

has anybody else got this working ?

ralf, could you take the time to write some notes on how to compile qt 3 and 
kde 3 from scratch, and could you please test it out on your machine, perhaps 
with a fresh cygwin install in a different directory from your normal one, if 
possible ?

i know this is a lot of work, but i am kind of lost in this, and i really want 
to help with this, like getting koffice and gideon running under cygwin...

i would be very happy when i could compile qt and kde on my box the same way 
as you did, so that i could go on from that point.

thanks, Holger

btw: ralf, do you plan to go to the nove hrady developers meeting ? would be 
cool to meet there :-)
