Re: KOffice 1.5.2 on Cygwin?

Hello!

Probably the easiest solution would be to modify moc.y in the Qt source. =

Unfortunately this means to recompile Qt for Cygwin and I have not yet =

managed to do this successfully.

Another solution would be to write a wrapper for moc, which passes all =

parameters to the real moc, then finds out what the output file was and =

processes it with sed.

But possibly there is still an easier solution...
