[Marble-devel] splitting marble and marblewidget

[Kishore]

While attempting to split marble and marblewidget so that the widget could go 
into kdesupport I experienced a few issues. 

Most issues were related to marblewidget in its current CMakeLists.txt, 
installing header files being used by marble application. This i work around by 
installing them.

Header files in marblewidget, used by marble in turn include the UIC generated 
headers. This breaks the build. I have worked around this by moving the 
inclusion into the respective cpp file and  only forward declaring in the 
header.

Here is now where i am stuck. There are some UIC generated files of 
marblewidget (code inside src/lib) that are being included directly by code in 
marble. For example, marble_part.cpp includes ui_MarbleViewSettingsWidget.h. 
Does anybody have a suggestion for working around such requirements?

It seems to me that marble application has intimate knowledge about 
marblewidget and this bond would need to be broken for a proper split. 
Necessary functionality would have to be added to the widget to make it usable 
by marble.

Any suggestions?
