release 0.8.3 of kdewin installer available

[Marcel Partap]

Hi there,
I tried compiling KDE4 from subversion using the emerge script some weeks ago,
ran into some troubles and was told here to fix my WINE first.. actually that
solved the issues I had with Python, but after that I ran into a problem with
WINE's pipe processing (see bug http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10192).
That's not yet fixed but Jason is working on it.
Now I thought to myself, as KDE4 is already in the RC phase, well, try the
precompiled packages... my initial result:
> localhost ~ $ wine kdewin-installer-gui-0.8.3.exe
> ALSA lib pcm_softvol.c:889:(_snd_pcm_softvol_open) Unknown field max_dB
> ntlm_auth: error opening config file /etc/samba/smb.conf. Error was Invalid or

> err:ntlm:SECUR32_initNTLMSP ntlm_auth was not found or is outdated. Make sure
> that ntlm_auth >= 3.0.25 is in your path.
> err:ntlm:SECUR32_initNTLMSP Usually, you can find it in the winbind package of

then I remebered the 'fix your wine first' comment and changed to a fresh
wineprefix. Oh wonder, problem gone.
After starting it and selecting MinGW it downloaded the package list fine. The
package list was a bit strange at first (each package twice?!) but then cleared
up. When I selected kdetoys and kdenetwork etc I was a bit confused at first
that the deps didn't get automatically set but after clicking next it showed
they will be installed. So clicking next again - stuff starts downloading. Now
while the progress bar started moving I saw the next button was not disabled.
Click - nothing. Click - nothing. Click - BOOM. Please disable that button
during installation x)
Anyways ('mooving right aloong..') .. after trying again and leaving it be for
some time I noticed taht the disk was full and the installer was just hogging
the cpu. After killing it, next try.
Now well, everything seemed to work.. teh KDE dir has 590mb installed in it..
but well, the installer is sucking CPU since four hours and doing _nothing_..
Killed it, tried  ~/.wine/drive_c/KDE4/bin $ wine kruler
