[rkward-devel] static windows binary

[meik michalke]

hi,

now that i've toyed around with the windows version a little (nice to see that 
rkward can be run from a network share and even a DVD without installation), i 
was wondering if a static build was possible.

the needed kdebase installation consumes around 700 MB of disk space, and i 
doubt that rkward uses all of the installed tools and libs. if a static build 
could save a significant amount of that space, i'd prefer to have such an 
option.

well, i'm not using windows anyways, but it's hard to convice someone to give 
rkward a try if that means to install so much otherwise unneeded stuff. apart 
from that, of KDE could be stripped down to the really needed parts, rkward 
could easily be burnt as a live CD for windows users.

how do you feel about this?

[btw., probably expect some feedback in the next weeks, as with two collegues 
i've just started an R workshop at my institute. we expected 5-10 people, but 
when more than 20 showed up we had to change for a bigger room... of course 
we'll look at rkward, that's why i'm suddenly so interested in the windows 
build. and that's where i got the idea of a static build: when 20 people try 
to install using one WLAN hotspot...]
