[Marble-devel] Help with MarbleWidget

[Sylvain Paré]

about the cache issue under windows , it is a path issue
if you read (and understand and followed it :) )all both tutorial about
marble on windows you should
have read something about copying "plugins" and "data" directories next to
your exe
with this that should work.
