Snapshot release of KDE 3.4.1 

IMPORTANT
  This kde release may not run with newer qt libraries from http://cygwin-ports.sf.net. 
  If you like to run newer qt releases please remove this packages completly and install kde
  from the independent project http://cygwin-ports.sf.net. 

INSTALLATION

1. install required cygwin packages 

	cygwin xorg-x11-base freetype2 fontconfig libxslt libxml2 libiconv libtiff5 openssl libbz2_1 zlib libpcre0 jpeg libaspell15 libart_lgpl2 libsasl2 ash rebase


2. download the packages and unpack them into the cygwin root 

	wget -nd http://webdev.cegit.de/snapshots/kde-cygwin/kde/kde3.4/qt-x11-free-3.3.4-1.tar.bz2  
	wget -nd http://webdev.cegit.de/snapshots/kde-cygwin/kde/kde3.4/kdelibs-3.4.1-0.tar.bz2  
	wget -nd http://webdev.cegit.de/snapshots/kde-cygwin/kde/kde3.4/kdebase-3.4.1-0.tar.bz2  
	wget -nd http://webdev.cegit.de/snapshots/kde-cygwin/kde/kde3.4/kdepim-3.4.1-0.tar.bz2  
	wget -nd http://webdev.cegit.de/snapshots/kde-cygwin/kde/kde3.4/kdesdk-3.4.1-0.tar.bz2  

	tar -C / -xjf qt-x11-free-3.3.4-1.tar.bz2
	tar -C / -xjf kdelibs-3.4.1-0.tar.bz2
	tar -C / -xjf kdebase-3.4.1-0.tar.bz2
	tar -C / -xjf kdepim-3.4.1-0.tar.bz2
	tar -C / -xjf kdesdk-3.4.1-0.tar.bz2

		
3. rebase all dll's to avoid cygwin remap problem 

	<before running rebaseall make sure, that no cygwin process is running>
	
	1. create file list

		find /opt/qt/3.3 /opt/kde3.4 -name '*.dll' >/tmp/files.lst

	2. close *ALL* cygwin processes 
	
	3. open a windows command shell (cmd.exe) from Start/Run and goto cygwin installation root 

		cd c:\cygwin 
		bin\ash bin/rebaseall  -b 0x61000000 -v -T tmp/files.lst



4. start kde 

  1. display only kicker (uses Xwin multiwindow mode)

		at first create a simple startscript 

		cat >~/startkde	
		/usr/sbin/cygserver &
		export CYGWIN=server
		export DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0
		xwin -multiwindow &
		xwinclip &	
		xhost +
		export SHELL=/bin/bash
		kdeinit +kicker &

	[press ENTER, then CTRL-D] 

  	chmod a+x ~/startkde

	no you can start kde with 
	
		~/startkde &

  stop kde - run  

		kdeinit_shutdown 	
		
	then close the bash window 

  2. using full kde desktop (uses Xwin rootless mode) 
  	 
	  cat >~/startkde
			#!/bin/bash
			cygserver &
			export CYGWIN=server
			export SHELL=/bin/bash
			xwin -fullscreen -noreset &
			xwinclip &
			xhost +
			/opt/kde3.4/bin/startkde
			kdeinit_shutdown 
			taskkill /IM xwin
			taskkill /IM xwinclip
			taskkill /IM cygserver

	[press ENTER, then CTRL-D] 

  	chmod a+x ~/startkde

	no you can start kde with 
	
		~/startkde &
	
		
	

Notes 

1. If you encounter problem with kmail (load loading time when opening new email window or seg faults), 
   you can install the cygwin-dll-2005-04-13 package, which runs stable for me. 
	 cd ~
	 wget -nd http://webdev.cegit.de/snapshots/kde-cygwin/kde/kde3.4/cygwin-dll-2005-04-13.tar.bz2
	 tar -xjf cygwin-dll-2005-04-13.tar.bz2
	 cp bin/cygwin1.dll /

	 <close all cygwin apps and start a cmd shell, then enter >
	 cd c:\cygwin (or whereever your cygwin root is located)
	 copy cygwin1.dll bin
	 <now you can restart kde> 
	 
	 
2. You can add the Entries of your windows start menu with the lnk2desktop tool. See the readme.txt
   in the package lnk2dektop-x.y.z.tar.bz2 for more informations. 

3. How to install a KDE language package: 

	1. download the related language package from ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/stable/3.4.1/SuSE/noarch
	2. install cygwin rpm package 
	3. create a symbolic link from /opt/kde3.4 to /opt/kde3 if not already existant: 
	
			ln -s kde3.4 /opt/kde3 
	
	4. install the downloaded language package 
	
			rpm -ivh kde3-i18n-xx-x.y.z-p.noarch.tar.bz2 --ignoreos
			
	5. setup new language with kpersonalizer
