1. If you encounter problem with kmail (load loading time when opening
new email window or seg faults), you can install the
cygwin-dll-2005-04-13 package, which runs stable for me.=20
cd ~
wget -nd
http://webdev.cegit.de/snapshots/kde-cygwin/kde/kde3.4/cygwin-dll-2005-0
4-13.tar.bz2
tar -xjf cygwin-dll-2005-04-13.tar.bz2
cp bin/cygwin1.dll /
=20
<close all cygwin apps and start a cmd shell, then enter >
cd c:\cygwin (or wherever your cygwin root is located)
copy cygwin1.dll bin
<now you can restart kde>=20
=20
=20
2. You can add the Entries of your windows start menu with the
lnk2desktop tool. See the readme.txt in the package
lnk2dektop-x.y.z.tar.bz2 for more information.=20
=20
3. How to install a KDE language package:=20
=20
1. download the related language package from
ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/stable/3.4.1/SuSE/noarch
2. install cygwin rpm package=20
3. create a symbolic link from /opt/kde3.4 to /opt/kde3 if not
already existent:=20
=20
ln -s kde3.4 /opt/kde3=20
=20
4. install the downloaded language package=20
=20
rpm -ivh kde3-i18n-xx-x.y.z-p.noarch.tar.bz2
--ignoreos
=20
5. setup new language with kpersonalizer

HEY Thar;
There was a set of directions on the snapshots site but it's gone now.
But I did follow those directions and got KDE to work. The term is
"rebase". I guess one could look for this in the man files. It takes the
required DLLs and puts them in the right directories to let KDE exe's to
find them. That's all I know.=20
I should have saved that page, drat!

Hi,
I have also been battling trying to get kde to start within cygwin.
I finally have made some progress. It seems that environment variables
set
within your cygwin shell (eg in .bashrc) don't propagate to the new
shell
that is running startkde. As a result you have to edit the Windows=20
environment variables by right-clicking on "My Computer" and "Advanced".
After I added all of the environment variables mentioned in
http://kde-cygwin.sourceforge.net/kde3/faq.php#debug_kde3, things
started
to work.
To start X I just run "startx &".
Then, to start KDE I run "startkde"
I haven't as yet got to a working KDE desktop - several of the kdeinit=20
instances hang.
But it's progress. I'm going to try to run individual applications, once
I
can find a distribution of cygipc, which so far is elusive.
Regards,
Joe.

There was a set of directions on the snapshots site but it's gone now. =
But I
did follow those directions and got KDE to work. The term is
"rebase". I guess one could look for this in the man files. It =
takes
the required DLLs and puts them in the right directories to let KDE =
exe's to
find them. That's all I know. <br>
I should have saved that page, drat!<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=3DMsoNormal>Hi,<br>
<br>
I have also been battling trying to get kde to start within cygwin.<br>
<br>
I finally have made some progress. It seems that environment variables =
set<br>
within your cygwin shell (eg in .bashrc) don't propagate to the new =
shell<br>
that is running startkde. As a result you have to edit the Windows <br>
environment variables by right-clicking on "My Computer" and
"Advanced".<br>
After I added all of the environment variables mentioned in<br>
<a =
href=3D"http://kde-cygwin.sourceforge.net/kde3/faq.php#debug_kde3">http:/=
/kde-cygwin.sourceforge.net/kde3/faq.php#debug_kde3</a>,
things started<br>
to work.<br>
<br>
To start X I just run "startx &".<br>
Then, to start KDE I run "startkde"<br>
<br>
I haven't as yet got to a working KDE desktop - several of the kdeinit =
<br>
instances hang.<br>
<br>
But it's progress. I'm going to try to run individual applications, once =
I<br>
can find a distribution of cygipc, which so far is elusive.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Joe.<br>
