Question about goal of Windows/Mac frameworks

[Christoph Cullmann]

Hi,

btw., a preliminary self contained Kate for Windows can be found here:

ftp://cullmann.io/cullmann/

Created with the CMake file from this repo by Kåre Särs

https://quickgit.kde.org/?p=scratch%2Fsars%2Fkate-windows.git&a=tree

Plain Qt, normal Visual Studio, can be deployed without global stuff.
(you need the Visual Studio redist package, thought, or you bundle that .dll
in the zip, too)

ZIP is only around 30MB, I think that is not that bad, no real need to spend
time on sharing stuff.

Greetings
Christoph
