“Can you tell me about the technical design of the Mac and
Windows ports?“Jaroslaw: I’ll refer to KDE/Windows as to
‘KDElibs/Windows and some KDE applications on Windows.’ Porting
applications to KDE/Windows typically just means making KDE
libraries and the build system more ‘portable.’ The source code of
the applications are largely the same. As an example I can mention
that Kexi’s source code, which I develop on Windows is often
committed to SVN without prior checking it on other platforms. Then
I just update another copy of the same source code from SVN on
Linux and recompile. There are few, if any, easily fixable problems
with this method, usually related to difference between compilers.
You get the idea, this is how the portable development
works…”
