[bt-devel] bt-static

[Martin Gruner]

Brook (and others who are willing to help with some testing),

may I ask you for a favor?
It would be great if you could test bt-static. Please give a report on what 
is working and what not, where it is crashing etc.

Joachim told me that for example there may be problems with the kfiledialog 
because it tries to open a mimetype-database from the kde directory, but he 
was not sure about what really happens at runtime. Maybe there are other 
issues like this? This might be a simple problem: we could just use #ifdef 
DSTATIC and use a qfiledialog instead of a kfiledialog.

You could use a kde system for testing. Just rename the kde (1 and 2) dirs, 
the qt dir, $home/.kde and $home/.kde2 and unset $KDEDIR(S) and $QTDIR.

It would really be great if you could do this.
It is very important because
a) the static build should work well
b) it looks like BibleTime is the first KDE app which also runs in non-kde 
systems. We can use this to generate PR at slashdot (might be pretty 
explosive) etc., but we must make sure it really works. Otherwise we'll be in 
trouble. ;)

Thanks for all your efforts.
BTW: maybe the release schedule will have to be changed again. There are some 
new bugs on sourceforge, and this issue has to be fixed before the release.
