Re: The state of frameworks on Windows

[Patrick von Reth]

Hi Christian,


Great to see some commits.


Yes we want to drop its usage in KDE code. So I would say we need to patch Gpgmepp upstream to support Windows without a compat lib.


Not yet but we have plans and a build machine.


I think in the frameworks folder there should only be the tier1 to 4 stuff. We should clean up the kde folder and could add a pim folder there?


Plans yes. But I don’t want to do it all on my own. I could provide the final binaries but I don’t want to fix/test all applications.



It would also be a small limited release, only apps know to work like kate or okular and not everything available as in the KDE4 days of this project. Only apps that are known to work and that are somehow maintained on Windows.


Cheers,


Patrick

Hi,

Recently I have updated my dusty old frameworks build on Windows (from
last summer). I started adding some stuff needed by KMyMoney like
KDiagram, Gpgmepp [1], since these did not have a ebuild yet I created
them in testing. I have a few questions for Patrick (TheOneRing):

1. As I remember you've said that we should start removing the kdewin
module, I found a few libraries like Gpgmepp which need kdewin to
build on Windows, what's the right approach to move forward with this?

2. Did we get any closer to setup a Windows build system that can be
added to Jenkins? If no, what do we need to do?

3. Where should the ebuilds of all the libraries (frameworks), which
resulted in splitting kdepimlibs up, should go? (some examples
Gpgmepp, KHolidays, KContacts). I propose frameworks/pim, is that OK?

4. Do you have any plans for an eventual release? What's the current
state of the project?

Regards,
Cristian
