Building KArchive on Windows

This is a summarizes step-by-step on how to compile the karchive on Windows Using Qt 5.15.0 and MSVS 2019_64 ( but it should work with any version you choose)

• Install Qt (http://qt.io/download) on path "C:/Qt"
• Install CMake for windows (http://www.cmake.org/) and remember to put it on path enviroment variable
• Install git https://git-scm.com/downloads
• git clone https://github.com/KDE/extra-cmake-modules.git
• In extra-cmake-modules, use VS Command Prompt x64: mkdir build && cd build && cmake .. -G "NMake Makefiles" -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=C:\kderoot; -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=C:\Qt\5.15.0\msvc2019_64
• nmake install(nmake is installed with Qt, if you don't find it, check you Qt installation)
• git clone kArchive https://github.com/KDE/karchive.git
• download Zlib from http://zlib.net/zlib128-dll.zip put in path-to-karchive\zlib
• download bzip2(options) http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/downlinks/bzip2-lib-zip.php put in path-to-karchive/bzip2
• download libLZMA(options) (you might need to build this on your own as well, https://github.com/kobolabs/liblzma) put in path-to-karchive\libLZMA
• In kArchive: mkdir build && cd build && cmake .. -G “NMake Makefiles” -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=C:\kderoot -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=release -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=C:\kderoot;C:\Qt\5.15.0\msvc2019_64;.....\karchive\zlib;....\karchive\bzip2;....\karchive\libLZMA ( replace those with the proper paths)
• nmake install
• Done! Now all the needed files are in C:\kderoot
