Hi,
here's a really short summary of the current state of the buildsystem in
kdelibs.
kdeqtstaging, all libraries in tier1/ and all libraries in tier2/ can be built
as part of kdelibs, or each one separately stand-alone.
So, except still needing kdeqtstaging, the buildsystems in tier1/ and tier2/
are basically done.
They work as they are now, and could be used as independent packages.
What I really do not know is how good they work on OSX, and even more so on
Windows. It would be really good if somebody could spend time on kdelibs
frameworks under Windows. I mean *really* good.
We may even still have a blocker there with the missing manifest-for-mingw
stuff.
KDELibs4Config.cmake and maybe also kde4support may be a bit shaky...
I built plasma-frameworks last weekend and it worked for me, so it seemed to
be ok.
But I'm afraid this is some growing pain we'll have as long as the kdelibs
modularization is not finished.
