Description Michael Drüing 2009-09-20 18:02:15 UTC

Version:            (using Devel)
Compiler:          MSVC 2008 compiled via emerge
OS:                MS Windows
Installed from:    Compiled sources

If you build koffice on Win32 from source (via the emerge tool), it fetches kdebase and kdepimlibs from branches/4.3 instead of trunk. This patch makes koffice build against trunk of both kdebase and kdepimlibs, which (as opposed to building against 4.3), actually compiles and gives working executables.

Hi Michael. You're right about the need. However it's already there: see the contributed/koffice-trunk package. I am using it for quite some time for similar reasons you want. I am sorry it wasn't clear before.

would it not be clearer to have koffice (trunk) in category kde and koffice(kde4.3) in category kde-4.3 ?
