Frameworks/Windows

From KDE Community Wiki

This page tracks the status of KDE Frameworks on Microsoft Windows.

Note: you MUST use emerge to build qtbase since it adds a patch that is essential for the functionality of all the frameworks.

All frameworks that are in emerge are buildable: emerge frameworks_tier1 frameworks_tier2 frameworks_tier3

MSVC2010 32-bit (old status)

ItemViews

Builds, only some deprecated warnings. Unit test passes. Manual tests work fine. kwidgetitemdelegatetest shows a bug that is probably cross‐platform (will report later).

ThreadWeaver

Builds, tests pass sometimes, other times locks up.

KCoreAddons

KRandom isn't very well seeded

KDirWatch also has some code working around a Windows limitation, which is obsolete because QFileSystemWatcher already implements the same workaround. But getting things to compile should be a priority over removing that.

KDirWatch test fails with QFileSystemWatcher backend on both windows and linux. Added to the kdelibs cleanup.

KSharedDataCache is a nonshared memory-only cache on windows.

KWindowSystem

Hundreds of errors casting WId to HWND in Windows‐specific code.

KArchive

Builds with liblzma, bzip2 and gzip on mingw64. tests have been moved. karchivetest and kfiltertest fail on mingw64.

Tier 2

KDNSSD

Builds with fake backend. no tests available.

KWallet

Builds. I didn't install kwalletd so I didn't test if it works.
