Windows is not anymore a hard requirement. I agree with Kevin. We should more focus on how we can improve KDE for mobile than fighting against a build system. What will be the benefit of saying : "look KDE runs on Symbian" if KDE runs at 2 FPS eating 60% of the memory. No point. Nokia/whoever will not care. In the other hand if KDE runs fine on Maemo/Meego where we can already build/run/debug (with pain though) then it's just a matter of working later on the S60 port only. There is so many to do regardless of Symbian just by considering Maemo/Meego. > Cheers, > > ------------------------------------------------------- > Artur Duque de Souza - MoRpHeUz > ------------------------------------------------------- > http://claimid.com/morpheuz > Blog: http://blog.morpheuz.cc > PGP: 0xDBEEAAC3 @ wwwkeys.pgp.net > ------------------------------------------------------- > > _______________________________________________ > Kde-maemo mailing list > Kde-maemo@kde.org > https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-maemo > > _______________________________________________ Kde-maemo mailing list Kde-maemo@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-maemo
