KPhotoAlbum on windows

[npaisnel]

Any one here running Kphotoalbum on their windows machine?

I would love to put it on my home XP machine but am a totall newbie doing anything this deep, I read the wiki
http://wiki.kde.org/tiki-index.php?page=KPhotoAlbum+on+Windows

and got stuck soon after installing the cygwin and the various required packages.

The line:
compile libkexif, libkipi, kipi-plugins as usual with
./configure --without-arts
make
make inst

This Is where I stopped. Saying "compile as usual" to someone that knows how to do it is ok, but to someone who does not have a clue, it does not really help a lot.

There are also instructions on the source download page:
http://kphotoalbum.org/download-source.html

but even that left me a bit lost as to what should be downloaded, and then what to do with it?

If anyone has clearer instructions, or can suggest a good place to start reading that would be great.

I am quite happy to learn new stuff and have just installed kbuntu on a spare machine to learn a bit about it. But, the home machine, I really just want to get on and use the machine without having to understand how the programs are installed and compilled. So a ready compiled installation for kphotoalbum for windows, would be even better.

Thanks

Neil

Wait for KDE4... since qt4 is going to be available for windows and Mac, they are making KDE apps that kan (lol) run on windows and mac as well. You might be able to find some early alphas of these somewhere, not sure though.

OK, thanks for taking the time to read my ramblings and reply.

So how will that help with kPhotoAlbum. Would I then be running a K Desktop on the windows machine, and run Kphotoalbum inside that ......rather like WINE on Ubuntu?

Or does anyone know if there is any windows software that does the same as KPhotoAlbum?
Have tried so many but cant find anything quite like this great prog
Thanks
