7. installed kde-x package (from kde-cygwin.sf.net)
Installing from binary
======================
1. unpack the archive under cygwin root. It will be installed into /opt/kde2
2. rebind the dll's and exe for faster runtime linking
/usr/local/lib/qt2/bin/rebind /opt/kde2/bin/*.dll
/usr/local/lib/qt2/bin/rebind /opt/kde2/bin/*.exe
3. add some path statements to your /etc/profile
export KDEDIR=/opt/kde2
export QTDIR=/usr/local/lib/qt2
export KDEHOME=$HOME/.kde2
export PATH=$KDEDIR/bin:$KDEDIR/lib:$QTDIR/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:$PATH
export LTDL_LIBRARY_PATH=$KDEDIR/lib:$KDEDIR/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$KDEDIR/lib:$KDEDIR/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin
4. reread environment
. /etc/profile

5. checkout kdelibs sources from cvs.kde-cygwin.sf.net
cvs instructions could be found under http://kde-cygwin.sf.net
6. prepare configuring
make -f Makefile.cvs
7. configure

export kde_moduledir='\${exec_prefix}/lib'
./configure --with-qt-dir=/usr/local/lib/qt2 --prefix=/opt/kde2 --disable-path-check --disable-closure --enable-shared --enable-debug

Using kdelibs
=============
1. Make sure the requirements are fullfilled and kdebase is installed as described above
2. Start Xserver
X -screen 0 1024x768x16 -engine 4 -ac
3. start kdeinit and see how the initialisation of DCOP/kded/kbuildsyscoa runs
kdeinit
4. Note that kdelibs contains no end user application, for this you need kdebase or other packages
TODO
====
- fix access violation errors
- speed up
