Getting started

[Bo Thorsen]

Hi People,

I'm trying to get started building KDE on Windows, but it's not really 
working.

I'm using Visual Studio Express 2005 on Vista with Qt 4.2.2. I have already on 
previous Qt projects set up VS with the SDK and the correct paths.

I have installed CMake and Perl, but have problems with win32libs. I 
downloaded the GUI installer for it and ran it, but I'm not completely sure 
what to get. The website says I should get all bin and lib packages, but is 
that really true? My guess is that I should only get the bin and lib packages 
from the win32libs group. But there are a number of the packages in this 
group that are not really available - aspell, giflib, iconv, and others 
doesn't have any bin, lib, doc, or src to check.

When I run the cmake...VS8...kdewin32, it complains about a missing iconv 
include file. This might have suggested that my assumption about only getting 
stuff from the win32libs is wrong, but iconv is only "available" in this 
group. And as explained above, it isn't really available.

Where am I going wrong here?

Bo.
