Thank you

I am rebuilding everything again. I found I have to enable and disable short paths alternately to get things to compile.

I guess the precompiled executables will depend on what is required. I want to create a custom version of kmymoney and would like to statically link as many components as I can so precompiled executables may not help. but then again perhaps it would be a lot easier than what I am doing now.

I too would like to help make this process as painless as possible. but being a total newb to kde/emerge/portage I am still discovering how everything gets put together.

when I ran into this problem a few days ago, I was able to get around it by
turning off EMERGE_USE_SHORT_PATH. Not a fix, but a workaround.

That said, turning off the short paths later caused trouble while compiling
kdelibs (where some files were expected to be in the short paths). I have not
resolved that, yet, and I think I will probably have to re-do some steps.

I must say it is a long and annoying process to get this to work and with
these issues its easy to get turned off. I actually started this process
over 2 years ago and gave up the first time around. This time I am not going
to give in.
Yes, it is a lot more cumbersome than it would look like in theory, and in
fact I believe that really is a significant barrier, turning off interested
developers from KDE on Windows. Let me spam this list once more with the idea,
that the project should offer snapshots of %KDEROOT% for download, at least
whenever a release was made. For KDE 4.9, mingw4, 32bit, I offered an archive
of my %KDEROOT%, here:
   http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-windows&m=135541718223018&w=2
(kdelibs and dependencies, only).

Thomas
