msdobrescu Registered Member Posts 119 Karma 0 OS	Which build to chose Sat Oct 06, 2012 12:27 pm Hello, Installing KDE revealed me that some tools are available or are missing depending on the build flavor (msvc, mingw 32 or 64). However, I need some specific tools, so how would I know which is availabe or not? Could it be done a comparison chart? (I know there are many applications, but...) Thank you.

I just want to know which applications are available and which are not for every compiler (msvc vs. mingw, 64 vs 32 bits). So I could chose the most of KDE I need. For instance, Amarok works differnetly, depending on the compiler used, some features simply crash it. Last edited by msdobrescu on Wed Jan 02, 2013 3:13 pm, edited 1 time in total.

For general purposes I think msvc is recommended (applications run faster or something), but i'm not entirely sure. KDE Sysadmin [img]content/bcooksley_sig.png[/img]

Indeed, mingw build has a lot of problems, but some additional apps also...
