Hi everybody,
I am trying to build Calligra Words on Windows. This is mostly working, except
that a number of important
classes (prominently KoDocument) depend on the QtDBus component which is not
provided on windows (at least
not in the version 4.8.1 of Qt that I am using).
There is a Windows build of calligra, maintained by KO GmbH (www.kogmbh.com),
so they must have found a way
around this. Can anybody tell me how this is done? I see no facility in the
source code to remove the
dependency on QtDBus, so I imagine that they in some way make this component
available in Windows. I have
found a couple of references on the internet about doing this, but it seems
incomplete and not very
dependable.
Any pointers in the right direction are appreciated.
Hi Taco!
We've short-circuited the base dependency part of calligra by using KDE's
windows emerge tool. That builds all the base parts, including dbus on
windows, and that enables the Qt dbus library as well. THere's been some
talk of making dbus optional or making it use windows' native ipc, but no
code has been written yet.
You can find instructions on how to build calligra on windows at:
