Only Kompare on Windows

Mon Sep 20, 2010 4:06 pm
Hey,

I found out, that Kompare obviously is the only useful diff tool for me, that I could find.

So I installed DiffUtils and wanted to install kdewin with its installer. The stupid thing is, that the download site of it is down and so i can't install it easily.

I could find another source for the binaries: http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/x11/kde/stable/4.4.4/win32/

and downloaded Kompare and tried to start it. Of course it threw errors, that it needed some additional dlls, so I downloaded the corresponding binaries from that FTP server, until there were no more errors on needed dlls.

No when I start Kompare it displays me only this error: "Could not find our KompareViewPart"
which doesn't tell me much...

So where can I see on which binaries Kompare depends on?
Or what else is causing this error?

Thanks in advance!

That's why you should use the installer - it takes care of all of the dependencies. The installer should ask for which mirror you want to use, and you should be able to give it that site that you listed and it will pull the files from there.

It appears that currently the winkde.org site is down, and I heard rumors that they are in the process of something major for KDE on Windows.

I know. And thats my problem.

I really would like to use the installer. I also tried downloading the installer from elsewhere but it hangs when it gets to "downloading mirror list" because it tries to get it again from the winkde.org site...

Another option in installer is to "download only", where it tries to download from sourceforge.net, but the list of applications is empty :/

Next thing I will try is "install from local directory"...

Looks like the main mirror is up again, so things should work.
