[Kmymoney-devel] kdewin kmymoney V4.6.1 Vs 4.6.4

[Chris]

Hi

I have finally been able to compile and run kmymoney on windows Yip Yip 
Hooray!!.

Numerous problems, but it appeared the main one was path length it caused 
unusual issues. Jom also gave me heartaches when compiling qt libs. It must 
have got stuck in some loop as it was consuming 50% resources but doing 
nothing :( Switching to mingw-make resolved that and was no slower (possibly 
a smidge faster!).

So in my quest to create a small business windows version. I am now moving 
on to looking at making the code changes I require. unfortunately the kdewin 
version of kmymoney is quite old 2011 I beleive.

I would like to switch to the current 4.6.4 which is in the git repo (I 
prefer git) and am wondering why the KDEWin version is so far behind. Am I 
better sticking to this branch or can I use the 4.6.4 branch?

If I try and switch what sort of issues can I expect?
If I don't switch how can I push any code into the current 4.6.4 branch as 
it will be untested?
Are the two versions compatible enough that I can edit and test in a linux 
kde environment and then backport my changes to the older version? thus 
being able to push upstream.


Sorry for so many questions...
