But i must admit that they do a great job, as all is based to Cmake and it's very simple to use. I choose vcpkg even if i'm not fan to M$ tool. 6/ We needs a package manager which simplify the job : Craft or vcpkg.

5/ We needs to use a VM based on Windows 10 + MSVC 2019. 4/ Using vcpkg to cross compile can work for a small project, but vcpkg is not yet designed for that. 3/ Cross Compiling use Clang-cl toolchain is a pain.

2/ MXE cannot be used here as QtWebEngine cannot be cross compiled. 1/ My plan is to provide a Qt6 based installer Some fresh news about my investigations around a Notarization of the digiKam for Windows. So please be patient and be aware on this channel. This will be a giant step on the project, and this will permit to adverse the application under the most important operating system (in quantity of computer installed i want mean (:=))). There are already some KDE application published on Microsoft store, so i'm confidant to complete this wish for the next 7.0.0 release. It's not perfect, but as usual, the last 10% are the most complex to solve.Īfter that, the KDE build factory will be able to package digiKAm for the store (it's a special format only doable with the Micorst tool under Windows of course.) Since 3 week, i'm fighting against the Windows stuff, and i'm near to complete the job :

To publish digiKam on the Microsoft store, the ultimate condition is to be able to compile whole digiKam under Microsoft compiler : MSVC
