Setting up the build environment

For using most of the tools in the commandline you will have to set up a proper environment. This includes setting the PATH variable and some additional variables needed for CMake and running KDE applications.

There are some assumptions made in this article: The path C:\kde4\win32libs is used as the installation directory from the kdewin-installer (which will be called KDEWIN_DIR), C:\kde4\kdelibs-install as the path where all kde4 modules will be installed to(which will be called KDEDIRS). Obviously you have to change the actual values to suite your system. The sources from SVN would reside in C:\kde4\kdelibs-src.

Warning

Don't forget to change set MYKDEDIRS in the seconde line!


Create a file and name it environment.bat:

@echo off
set MYKDEDIRS=

:: This script should be able to autodetect the following values.
:: Only set them manually, if the script complains about them.
:: Don't use quotes (")!

:: Microsoft Platform SDK install directory
:: set MSPSDKDIR=C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 R2

:: CMake install directory
:: set CMAKEROOT=C:\Program Files\CMake 2.4


:: make only changes below this line, if you know, what you are doing

set DBUSDIR=%KDEDIRS%
set QTDIR=%KDEDIRS%
set KDEWIN_DIR=%KDEDIRS%
set KDEWIN32DIR=%KDEDIRS%

set CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH=%INCLUDE%
set CMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH=%LIB%

call "%VS80COMNTOOLS%vsvars32.bat"

cmd.exe

goto END

:ERROR
pause
:END

You will have to run this file every time you start a new cmd-shell (for building etc.).

This script should be able to autodetect most of the required settings.
