[Kolab-devel] libkolabxml build without kde* dependencies

[Christian Mollekopf]

Hi Christian,

libkolabxml doesn't have any dependency on kde and not event qt (except for 
the tests). The only runtime dependencies are boost and xerces-c.
And by libkolabxml I mean the library called libkolabxml used for 
serialization. There also wont be any kde specific dependencies, as it is on 
purpose designed to be easy to include in all kinds of projects, so no worries 
=)

There is additional code in the libkolabxml repository which contains kde 
dependencies, containing additional features (calendaring using kcalcore, kde 
kolabformatV2 implementatin, mime message handling...), so the naming of the 
repository is a bit confusing I suppose.

Cheers,
Christian
