Status

General

• migration to Qt4 is not finished
• Wiki at kde.org (http://wiki.kde.org/tiki-index.php?page=KDE4+Windows+Port)

KDElibs 4 on Windows

• all libraries of kdelibs compile on Windows with cmake
• kdelibs4 on Windows is not stable in terms of API and available features (comparing to Linux/UNIX); most of this is because KDE4 is still in active development
  • klauncher could start applications and kio slaves
  • win32 related kdeinit wrapper working (see kdeinit --help for more options)
  • kio_file is usable
  • kio_http is usable in non ssl mode
  • kio_ftp is usable using anonymous user
  • katetest is running, directory browsing is possible, files could be opened

TODO list

this list is a TODO-list which needs to be done before we can release an alpha version of kdelibs/windows

• enhance kdewin installer (see http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/kdesupport/kdewin32/installer/)
• merge windbus into dbus maintree (http://sf.net/projects/windbus)
• fill foo_win.cpp - stubs in kdelibs with working code
• change kdelibs to be path-independend from CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX
• fix kioslaves
• resolve problems when kde libraries from both compilers (mingw & msvc) are installed on the same machine
