kdelibs compile error

[Paul Broadbent]

Hi,
I've been attempting to compile KDE in windows using this guide:
http://www.kdelibs.com/wiki/index.php/Building_KDElibs_4_using_MS_Visual_Studio

It's been quite a struggle, but until now a little googling around has
eventually solved any problems I came across. But now I'm stuck with
kdelibs, I've got it to configure ok with:

cmake -G"NMake Makefiles" ..\kdelibs

but when I run nmake it gets to 1% (kconfig.cpp) and then gives me
this error message:

f:\kdesource\kde\trunk\kde\kdelibs-build\kdecore/kdefakes.h(119) :
error C2061: syntax error : identifier 'gid_t'
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: '"F:\KDE 4\MICROS~1\VC\bin\cl.exe' : return
code '0x2'
Stop.
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: '"F:\KDE 4\Microsoft Visual Studio
8\VC\BIN\nmake.exe"' : return code '0x2'
Stop.
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: '"F:\KDE 4\Microsoft Visual Studio
8\VC\BIN\nmake.exe"' : return code '0x2'
Stop.

Any thoughts?

By the way, there may be a few spelling errors in the error message
above, since I copied it it from the windows command prompt by hand
(is there a way to copy text from the command prompt?)


Also, a completely separate question. My goal is eventually to run the
Kolf binary (from KDE Games) on a windows system without installing
anything. This is because I'm the Kolf maintainer and want some kind
of demonstration of the scale of project I'm capable of working on for
a job interview. I'm hoping KDE apps are like Qt ones, so if I have
the binary and a few dlls in that folder then it will run, is this
even possible? I'm a bit clueless about KDE on Windows at the mo.
(And I know that Kolf doesn't currently compile on windows, or at
least is disabled, I'm hoping to fix that :))

Thanks very much for any the help

Paul
