KDE for windows new version

[Paul Manners]

Hi Michal,

This is probably not the answer you were hoping for, but paints a picture,
which may or may not help with providing some direction.

This is a very similar issue to the one I have been looking into over the
last few weeks.  The only difference is that I'm trying to get the latest
version of Okular in Windows instead of Kate.  To summarize the information
I've dug up so far on IRC and the mailing lists, the status as far as I
understand is as follows:

The binary SC releases have been discontinued.  The last one was in May
2013 and it's based on KDE 4.13.  To get the latest version of your
KDE-based application in Windows requires that you set up a build
environment in Windows.  The recommended way to do the build is using the
emerge tool.  I think using MinGW is an easier route than VS (I was trying
VS2013) however I started having problems quite early on with emerge
dependencies so didn't get very far.  As you will have seen the
documentation on Wiki is quite a bit out of date, so I've been making a few
modifications when I've solved issues along the way.  I would encourage you
to do the same if you find inconsistencies.

So you may have seen that the development focus has shifted quite a bit to
QT5/KDE5.  As this is bleeding edge I would guess this is probably not
suitable for your (or my purposes).  I have not yet ascertained exactly
which KDE base (specifically which git branch) to use for my requirements
or what the dependencies are for the okular application but I'm led to
believe that one "should" be able to get something running with one of the
KDE4 snapshots/branches.  This is still work in progress on my side, but I
would be interested to hear more from you if you have any success.  From
what I've seen so far the process is not entirely straight forward and my
experience is that emerge is somewhat temperamental.  I'm sure it's just a
matter of a few configuration settings however coming from a linux
background it is not clear where to go digging.

regards
Paul
