Welcome back in the life after the championship Christian!

There is a patched qt-4.2 snapshot in qt-copy,
kdelibs is now in trunk/kdesupport,
http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/kdesupport/?rev=560090
qdbus makes some trouble because it is removed from kde-svn
and the does not compile out of the box with qt.
for dbus there are Ralf's files
http://webdev.cegit.de/snapshots/kde-windows/dbus-win/
which don't compile with msvc out of the box:
To compile with msvc, add to config.h.cmake

#ifdef _MSC_VER
#define snprintf _snprintf
#define strtoll _strtoi64
#define strtoull _strtoui64
#endif


and change in CMakeLists.txt line 45

- include_directories( ${CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH} )
+ include_directories( ${CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH} ${KDEWIN32_INCLUDES})


and to fix the remaining linker errors add

#include <config.>

to dbus-send.c dbus-monitor.c


I've also done a first step to merge Ralf's files
with freedesktops cvs version,
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/dbus/2006-July/005076.html
and have created a sourceforge project where we can host the
files in a svn repository until the merge- winDBus:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/windbus/

I think atm the most important thing is to get a working and
installable dbus version.
