Description IanMac 2012-10-09 23:57:57 UTC

I have downloaded digikam-2.9.0.tar.bz2 and placed it in my KDE build library having renamed it digikam-2.9.0-bin.tar.bz2, I have then created a .sha1 file with the sha1 number in it. Then I have run kdewin-installer-gui-latest.exe (version 0.9.9) doing "install from local directory". I fall over because there a two link files in the build in folder, 
digikam-2.9.0.tar.bz2\digikam-2.9.0.tar\digikam-2.9.0\core\tests\databases\testimages\a2\pgf\link\
called foto001q5.pgf and otherlink.pgf 
which I believe cause this message

Error reading from file
C:/ProgramData/KDE/digikam-2.9.0/core/tests/databases/testimages/a2/pgf/link
(unsupported fileType 50)

can we either remove these link files or replace them with real files, so that we can easily build a windows version.

Reproducible: Always



Expected Results:  
That I can build KDE with digikam.

With next digiKam 5.0.0, we will provide a fully cross-compiled version Windows under Linux where a lots of problems have been fixed.
