First off, sorry all if this is in the wrong place. I've spent several months (off \
and on) looking around documentation and googling and have failed to figure out what \
I'm doing, so I thought I'd risk peeving some folks and ask people for help.
Second off, congrats to all working on porting KDE over to cygwin. It's coming along \
nicely!
I'm interested in compiling/running koffice for the 3.1.1 Beta. I used the installer \
from http://kde-cygwin.sourceforge.net/kde3/installation.php and the first update. I \
also followed the manual installation instructions from \
http://kde-cygwin.sourceforge.net/qt3/download.php on cygwin qt installation. I was \
able to get qtconfig and designer to pop up on the cygwin X Windows window.
I then downloaded what I believe is the koffice source from \
http://apps.kde.com/na/2/info/id/163, the first link under "General Packages". I go \
to issue configure, and get the error:
checking for Qt... configure: error: Qt (>= Qt 3.0.3) (library qt-mt) not found.
Please check your installation!
For more details about this problem, look at the end of config.log.
Make sure that you have compiled Qt with thread support!
Though if I understand things right, I actually have Qt 3.0.4 floating around \
somewhere in my cygwin files. I noticed in the configure file itself there are three \
options that might be handy,
--with-qt-dir=DIR where the root of Qt is installed
--with-qt-includes=DIR where the Qt includes are.
--with-qt-libraries=DIR where the Qt library is installed.
But I have no clue what to put or how to find out.
I have marginal experience with unix and linux - I am by no means an adept or a \
master. I know how to unpack source distros and issue ./configure or make / make \
install. On rare occasions I can go muck around in build sources that aren't \
compiling and figure out what's wrong. But please, be lenient with the newbie! I \
have even less experience with KDE or Qt, though I'm hoping to get more involved as \
both seem very cool.
Anyway, any help or advice is appreciated. Most especially, "you're in over your \
head, wait for us to port koffice along with a full release of kde for cygwin", if \
it's appropriate.
Sincerely,
James Dowdell
