Description Ralf Habacker 2017-03-16 11:23:21 UTC
The installed name of tool kio_http_cache_cleaner conflicts with the related tool from KDE4 installations. It should be renamed to kio_http_cache_cleaner5.
Installing the tool in libexec does not help on Windows where libexec dir is set to bin too.
Comment 1 David Faure 2017-03-23 11:44:23 UTC
"Platform: All" is incorrect because on Unix, with the different libexec dir, there is no conflict.

Is there any chance to consider a libexec that is not bin, on Windows,
or to decide that libexec==bin means co-installing is not supported?
Comment 2 Ben Cooksley 2017-10-02 09:00:11 UTC
Coinstallation shouldn't be relevant on Windows, because each application will have it's own copy of the necessary libraries in it's installation directory.

Therefore I think we can ignore all of these issues - it certainly hasn't been an issue for any of the Windows CI builds (build.kde.org) or the Windows installers for Kate, KDevelop and some others produced by the Binary Factory (binary-factory.kde.org)

Given we have both of these, developers shouldn't need to cross compile software either (MSVC has it's own quirks as well, so cross compiling isn't a complete solution here)
Comment 3 Ahmad Samir 2020-05-28 09:29:32 UTC
Is this still an issue?
