digiKam for Windows : self 7Zip archive updated...

[Gilles Caulier-4]

Hi all digiKam users,

Since few week, me and Julien Narboux we trying to make a digiKam
installer for windows including last code from svn trunk of digiKam,
kipi-plugins, and all shared libraries from KDE core.

This archive is based on a KDE 4.4.4 MinGW4 install.

Currently, we working on a NSIS based installer, but it doesn't work yet:

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=256372

As working based, we use my current Windows 7 KDE4 installation from
my laptop. I created a 7zip archive of this. You can download it at
this place :

http://digikam3rdparty.free.fr/misc.tarballs/digikam-install.exe

Archive size is around 200Mb. Uncompress it at the right place on your
computer. The folder created is the whole KDE4 dir. Go to bin sub-dir,
digikam.exe is there (as dngconverter.exe, showfoto.exe,
expoblending.exe, etc.)

Do not cry if all doesn't work yet. 90% of digiKam work fine under
windows, but some features are broken due to some bugs in KDELibs, as
for ex, if you want to sent items to trash :

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=229465

Also, camera auto detection doesn't work. I suspect an uncomplete dbus port.

So, if you want to play with digiKam under windows, let's go...

Best

Gilles Caulier

Thank you very much for doing this!!  It works fine, and it's really
nice being able to keep up with digiKam's advancement, instead of having
to wait for the KDE on Windows gang to get their stuff together.
