Pre-built KF5 archives and okular

[Jonathan Schultz]

Hi Thomas and friends,

First of all, thank you so much Thomas for providing those archives. 
Without them I'd probably still be struggling to build any KDE apps on 
Windows. Now I can build okular using mingw/x86 which is a great start.

That said, I have a few comments and further questions. Your assistance 
with any of them would be most appreciated.

1. The README says that the builds require at least Windows 8.1 
Everything I describe below I have tried using both Windows 8.1 and 
Windows 7, and have seen no difference at all between the two.

2. Of the archives, only the first one (KF5_emerge.7z) allows me to 
build okular, and succeeds with no extra intervention. This tells me 
that there is no big problem preventing okular from building. However, 
with the other archives I find that I'm getting some linking errors. 
Using KF5_emerge_MinGW4.9.2.7z the build fails on libcurl with the 
following output:

> K:/k/lib/libcrypto.a(bss_sock.o):bss_sock.c:(.text+0x90): undefined reference to `_imp__shutdown at 8'
> K:/k/lib/libcrypto.a(bss_sock.o):bss_sock.c:(.text+0x1c0): undefined reference to `_imp__shutdown at 8'

And using the MSVC archive KF5_emerge_MsVS2013.7z it fails building 
libspectre with the following:

> [ 75%] Linking C shared library spectre.dll
>    Creating library spectre.lib and object spectre.exp

3. Finally I have also tried to replicate your build process (partly to 
prove to myself that I can do it, but also so that I can build a 64 bit 
version) and it fails with:

> In file included from K:\k\download\git\qtbase\src\plugins\platforms\windows\qwindowsfontdatabase_ft.h:37:0,
>                  from K:\k\download\git\qtbase\src\plugins\platforms\windows\qwindowsintegration.cpp:45:
> ..\..\..\..\include\QtPlatformSupport\5.5.1/QtPlatformSupport/private/qbasicfontdatabase_p.h:1:124: fatal error: ../../../../../../../../../../download/git/qtbase/src/platformsupport/fontdatabases/basic/qbasicfontdatabase_p.h: No such file or directory

What I notice here is that the file 
.../QtPlatformSupport/private/qbasicfontdatabase_p.h is in different 
locations in the different builds. In your three archives there is a 
copy under k/include while when I try to build it is only under 
k/build/libs/qtbase/work/mingw-w64-RelWithDebInfo-5.5/include There are 
some other differences too, which I can describe if that would help, but 
I'm hoping that in the meantime someone can tell me what might be going 
wrong.

Many thanks,

Jonathan
