IMHO the best way to achieve this would be converting *all* our 3rd party dependencies to CMake. A daunting effort, I know, but I'm slowly converting stuff: last week I did libwv2 (needed for KWord) and I'll be converting OpenSSL as soon as I finish adding Perl-compatible regular expressions to CMake. This would make possible (maybe even *easy*) to build everything with MinGW and VC++, both in 32 and 64 bits. -- 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
