adjust the values according to your setup

Build kdelibs

svn co svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/trunk/KDE/kdelibs
cd kdelibs
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=~/Toolchain-mingw32.cmake ..

• you have to make a link to your kde4automoc and kconfig_compiler for linux in the bin directory

ln -s /path/to/kde4automoc bin/
ln -s /path/to/kconfig_compiler bin/

• since linux is case sensitive you have to make symbolic links for some headers

cd /windows/kde4/include
ln -s soprano Soprano

• You will get an error in klauncher.moc about slotKDEInitData so go into kinit and do something like this(you need wine)

rm *.moc
../bin/kde4automoc.exe /home/kdeuser/kde/src/KDE/kdelibs/build/kinit/klauncher_automoc.cpp /home/kdeuser/kde/src/KDE/kdelibs/kinit /home/kdeuser/kde/src/KDE/kdelibs/build/kinit /windows/kde4/bin/moc.exe

and then do make as usual

• Another error in kdewidgets because wine doesn't find some dll to run makekdewidgets.exe so either run the linux version manually like this

makekdewidgets -o /home/kdeuser/kde/src/KDE/kdelibs/build/kdewidgets/kdewidgets.cpp /home/kdeuser/kde/src/KDE/kdelibs/kdewidgets/kde.widgets

or symlink those missing library in your wine system32 folder(i haven't tested it but it should work)
