Hi Thomas and friends,
First of all, thank you so much Thomas for providing those archives.
Without them I'd probably still be struggling to build any KDE apps on
Windows. Now I can build okular using mingw/x86 which is a great start.
That said, I have a few comments and further questions. Your assistance
with any of them would be most appreciated.
1. The README says that the builds require at least Windows 8.1
Everything I describe below I have tried using both Windows 8.1 and
Windows 7, and have seen no difference at all between the two.
2. Of the archives, only the first one (KF5_emerge.7z) allows me to
build okular, and succeeds with no extra intervention. This tells me
that there is no big problem preventing okular from building. However,
with the other archives I find that I'm getting some linking errors.
Using KF5_emerge_MinGW4.9.2.7z the build fails on libcurl with the
following output:
K:/k/lib/libcrypto.a(bss_sock.o):bss_sock.c:(.text+0x90): undefined reference
to `_imp__shutdown@8'
K:/k/lib/libcrypto.a(bss_sock.o):bss_sock.c:(.text+0x1c0): undefined reference
to `_imp__shutdown@8'
And using the MSVC archive KF5_emerge_MsVS2013.7z it fails building
libspectre with the following:
[ 75%] Linking C shared library spectre.dll

3. Finally I have also tried to replicate your build process (partly to
prove to myself that I can do it, but also so that I can build a 64 bit
version) and it fails with:
In file included from
K:\k\download\git\qtbase\src\plugins\platforms\windows\qwindowsfontdatabase_ft.h:37:0,
from
K:\k\download\git\qtbase\src\plugins\platforms\windows\qwindowsintegration.cpp:45:
..\..\..\..\include\QtPlatformSupport\5.5.1/QtPlatformSupport/private/qbasicfontdatabase_p.h:1:124:
fatal error:
../../../../../../../../../../download/git/qtbase/src/platformsupport/fontdatabases/basic/qbasicfontdatabase_p.h:
No such file or directory
What I notice here is that the file
.../QtPlatformSupport/private/qbasicfontdatabase_p.h is in different
locations in the different builds. In your three archives there is a
copy under k/include while when I try to build it is only under
k/build/libs/qtbase/work/mingw-w64-RelWithDebInfo-5.5/include There are
some other differences too, which I can describe if that would help, but
I'm hoping that in the meantime someone can tell me what might be going
wrong.
Many thanks,
Jonathan
