KDE This week's KDE Commit Digest tells about an installer for KDE on Windows and the problems the developers encountered setting up a working environment for KDE to run on. Many screenshots included, showing the first applications (such as Konqueror) running natively.

In MSVS you have a "Setup" project which contains "primary outout of MainProject". When you right-click the setup project and select build, it automatically builds the setup project including all dependencies. This means that generating the whole .MSI is just as easy as compiling the app itself.

I guess building rpm/deb packages isn't that easy, huh? My guess is that it's probably even a command line thing...
