Build help - Windows

[Barth Netterfield]

Well... we haven't tried to use qmake with kst for many years and I 
doubt it works at all.

Our windows builds are done as a cross compile from linux, and then 
linking to pre-compiled versions of the external libraries (see 
kst/cmake/travis.sh).  This worked well until a few months ago when the 
getdata api changed.  The build no longer works.

qtcreator is capable of using cmake as the build system, so you might 
want to install cmake in windows partition, and then figure out how to 
used it with qtcreator.  For the external libraries (gsl, getdata, etc) 
I have no idea.
