Yes, nearly copy&paste: the copies of KDChart in Calligra & KMyMoney are older (2.4.1, based on Qt4) versions, while the copy of KDChart in Massif-Visualizer matches the version of the KChart lib in KDiagram. > though you should probably get someone with > CMake knowledge to review (and kill that autogen.py and g++.pri?) Yes, any volunteers here for reviewing the CMake parts? :) Code should be similar to that of a KF5 tier1 lib. Cheers Friedrich
