Build problems with akonadi-ports/kdepim on windows

[Bernhard Herzog-2]

Hi,

we've got problems building akonadi-ports/kdepim on windows.  AFAICT the code
in question is not quite correct on linux either, hence the cross post to
both kde-windows and kde-pim.

The immediate problem is that when building rev. 1042282 of
akonadi-ports/kdepim on windows with mingw, the build fails with

E:\e5\07\svn\branches\work\akonadi-ports\kdepim\kmail\globalsettings.cpp:28:
error: definition of static data member 'GlobalSettings::mSelf' of
dllimport'd class

E:/e5/07/build/akonadi-porting-branch/kdepim-20091026/work/mingw-RelWithDebInfo-svn/kmail/globalsettings.moc:43:
warning: 'GlobalSettings::staticMetaObject' defined locally after being

E:\e5\07\svn\branches\work\akonadi-ports\kdepim\kmail\globalsettings.cpp: In

int, void**)':

warning: non-inline function 'void GlobalSettings::slotSyncNow()' is defined
after prior declaration as dllimport: attribute ignored

kmail\globalsettings.h contains this:

  #include "messageviewer_export.h"
  class QTimer;

  class MESSAGEVIEWER_EXPORT GlobalSettings : public GlobalSettingsBase

That doesn't seem right.  This globalsettings is linked to kmailprivate, not
messageviewer, so MESSAGEVIEWER_EXPORT will not have the correct value when
actually compiling a component of kmailprivate.  Changing this to
kmail_export.h and KMAIL_EXPORT or removing the *_EXPORT altogether doesn't
help because now the linker complains about duplicate symbols in
globalsettings.obj and libmessageviewer.dll.a (Symbols GlobalSettings::self()
and GlobalSettings::requestSync()).

AFAICT the reason for all of this is that r1037942 tried to revert r1031636
but did so incompletely and incorrectly.  I've removed the
MESSAGEVIEWER_EXPORT from both libmessageviewer/globalsettings.h and
kmail/globalsettings.h.  This seems to work.  At least kmail builds now.
