[Kde-windows] general question about compiler support

[Ralf Habacker]

Hi, 

Currently minge is the only official supported  gpl distribution of QT4 and 
this is why I have started to add mingw support to bksys to create gpl'ed 
KDE4 applications on windows, 

What about msvc, there is currently no official distribution, only the support 
Christian Ehrlicher does adding the msvc build system to QT4 and Jaruslav has 
probably a commercial QT4 license. 

The questions i have are what does this mean related to licensing and support 
issues. 

- Who will give qt4 support for msvc in the future, when many people are using 
this and have questions and problems with the commercial and non-official 
release, because trolltech will not do that. 

- Who will give support for the produced KDE applications, if only a very 
limited public community is possible for the commercial and non-official 
release ?

- How could a gpl'ed KDE application released with a commercial qt library 
without the source ? 

This is not to hurd anyone or  to discredit anyones work, but a real important 
question resulting from my own experience with trolltech layers relating to 
the QT3 port.  

Regards
 Ralf
