Hi all, some thoughts on KDE and windows from a random user. Most
people have Windows OS of various flavours installed on their machines.
They have access to the internet. A lot of them search for a tool to
undertake a task, manager their money or photos for example. They
discover that such to

I find people expect native installers on windows, be it exe or msi.
If you ask I'd look at priorities to see what apps to maintain on
Windows, look what type of app is otherwise unavailable on
Windows/Mac. Krita or Kexi comes as example.

Hi,
To be honest, I didn't expect people to use the occasion for ranting. We
all know it's been hard to do multiplatform development on kdelibs 4,
that's for granted. That's why some of us went through kdelibs and made it
become the KDE Frameworks 5. It's been a massive project, and we've done it

My comments should be seen as positive criticisms. As you are well aware I

Your are not alone. For digiKam under windows, it's the same problem
to release a version running on this system...
So i'm hear this thread with interrest, to see which solutions are

Its great to see I am not alone. You have obviously gone to a great deal of
effort to get this all working. So I really appreciate the chance to clone
your kde 'lite' environment.
The KDE learning curve is quite substantial. For example It took a while to

Hi,
Just my 2 cents on this. Rants won't help improving anything. The most
important cause that's holding back KDE on Windows development, I think, is
the number of people working on it and their spare time. So, this being
open source, if you have a itch please scratch it. I admit that KDE on

Well, you post it as a rant, but I have to agree... The big problem is
that KDE4 is both a platform and a development framework, and the two
are mixed together.
For Krita, I've stopped using the emerge system to get the dependencies,
because it's just too fragile. It's wonderful if you want to
As a developer who is trying to compile and then improve kmymoney on windows
I must say it is the most painful process.
If you want portability for KDE apps you need to uncouple applications from
