SUMMARY Instructions presented to the user about what to do at the end of the craft installation are unclear and sometimes contradictory. SPECIFICS 1. CraftBootrap.py's last message is "Please run the following command to get started:". It is unclear whether the indicated command needs to be run once to complete the installation, or needs to be run at the start of every session using craft. Inspection of the code shows some things that are clearly one-time moves, and others that might not be. 2. craftenv.psl, the script to be run has these comments in the header: # this file sets some environment variables that are needed # for finding programs and libraries etc. # by Hannah von Reth <vonreth@kde.org> # you should copy CraftSettings.ini.template to ..\etc\CraftSettings.ini # and adapt it to your needs (see that file for more info) a) There is no CraftSettings.ini.template file that I can see b) The script itself moves, not copies, kdesettings.ini to CraftSettings.ini c) The instructions to adapt it to your needs are invisible unless you look at the file. d) "this file sets some environment variables" suggests the script should be run in each powershell session 3. craftenv.psl clears the screen. This was a surprise to me, leading me to lose the record of the installation that preceded it. Perhaps don't clear the screen, or ask first. 4. CraftSettings.ini itself is well-commented. I found the [QtSDK] section a bit weird since it had an uncommented Path referring to a non-existent drive, Version referring to an earlier version than I believe the installer downloaded, and Compiler set to mingw even though I selected msvc. I assume none of this matters since Enabled = False in this section. 5. https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Build_from_source/Windows a) The section on installing craft makes no mention of running the environment setup or customizing the ini file. b) The section on using craft says to run the environment setup. I take that as another indication it needs to be run every session. c) The note at the end of the installing craft section, "Note: For Microsoft Visual Studio compiler, it's necessary to have VCTOOLSREDISTDIR....." actually refers to steps that must be taken *before* step 3. For us non-powershell gurus, it would be helpful to indicate how to do this in powershell. I hope the answer is $Env:VCTOOLSREDISTDIR = "somepath" d) The section "Using the stock Qt SDK" likewise appears after the installation instructions, but I guess needs to be done earlier if it is to be done at all. I found this whole section somewhat confusing, though my take-away was "don't do this; it might cause trouble." It sounded as if Qt would end up installed through other means. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: 10 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Setup was for VS2017.
