There is currently no out of the box release of quanta. I've tried to build a 
release from http://websvn.kde.org/branches/KDE/3.4/kdewebdev/ but got two 
problems. For those who like to fix this by themself here are some notes: 


First, it seems that the recent kdelibs 3.4 has problems unpacking gzipped 
files, which I hadn't found yet.

I have only a workaround by using tar files instead of gzipped tar files for 
quanta's toolbars. It requires applying the quanta-cygwin.patch in the 
checkout kwebdev dir and the following command line for converting the 
installed toolbar files. 

	find /opt/kde3.4/share/apps/quanta/toolbars/ -name '*.tgz' -exec gzip -d {} 
\;
 
The appended quanta-gzip-filter-testcase.patch could be applied to kwebdev dir 
to get a ktartest application in quanta/src to see that unzipping goes wrong. 


The second problem is that quanta consumes 99% cpu usage after starting. An 
strace using quanta's pid (strace -p <quanta-pid>) shows quanta loops through 
network readv calls and got error messages of 10054=WSAECONNRESET. Currently 
I have not idea what's going wrong. 

some hints for configuring kwebdev from cvs (basic development package like 
gcc autotools and so one are required)
1· checkout unsermake from 
http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/kdenonbeta/unsermake/?rev=443540 
2. checkout kwebdev from http://websvn.kde.org/branches/KDE/3.4/kdewebdev/
3. enter kwebdev source root and run 
	unsermake -f Makefile.cvs 
4. configure using the appended configure.cygwin 
	. ./configure.cygwin
