I agree but if someone if building its own binaries, I assume he knows what he's doing :-) Ideally, the recently-started CMakePorts project ( http://code.google.com/p/cmakeports/ ) will CMake-ify everything in win32libs and we'll be able to build the whole KDE, including its dependencies, without downloading any binary. Actually, given that Boost, Poppler and others are available with a CMake build-system, should we try building them from source instead of downloading binaries from GnuWin32 and other places? -- Pau Garcia i Quiles http://www.elpauer.org (Due to my workload, I may need 10 days to answer) _______________________________________________ Kde-windows mailing list [email protected] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-windows
