Re: Konqueror on Windows

I really don't know how well this will work, but if you try using CygWin (www.cygwin.org), you should be able to compile the QT and KDE base libraries on your virtual Linux platform. Maybe it will let you inter-operate with your Windows file system.

This works only when you have Linux on the same partition as Windows (this is how CygWin works), or you don't need to access the Linux files on a separate partition. (CygWin might let you mount separate partitions, but I doubt it)

If you have them on separate partitions, then you might try a package that runs Linux on Windows (go to www.linux.org and search for distributions of type "Runs on MS-Windows"). If you're lucky, you'll be able to mount the other Linux partition into your embedded Linux distribution and everything might work.

Hope this helps,

Correction to my previous post

My previous posting contains an error: www.cygwin.org should be www.cygwin.com. I apologize for the inconvenience.

Someone started a project to implement KHTML for Windows similar to the approach Apple used for Safari.

Another project (kde-cygwin.sf.net) aims on implementing Qt/Free for Windows (porting X11 to Win32)

Another project uses the Qt for Windows to implement KDE libs on Windows.
This project already managed to run Kexi (from KOffice)
