this is my 1st question here! On this site: Is there a kdevelop version that i can install on windows? at one of the answers it is required to "Run emerge qt, emerge kdelibs, emerge kde-baseapps, emerge kdevelop and emerge kdevelop-pg-qt". However, when i make this it tells in the cmd.exe: "The command 'emerge' is either misspelled or could not be found." How can I fix this problem?

So, emerge actually installable on Windows if you follow the guide on the https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Build_from_source/Windows#Installing_Emerge

For info:

emerge is a command of a Portage package manager (program to install software in the OS).

Portage is an official package manager of the Gentoo Linux OS. Other examples: Ubuntu and Debian Linux use Apt package manager, Fedora Linux uses fpm, ArchLinux uses pacman, etc...

  • Be that as it may, `emerge` [is the official way](https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Build_from_source/Windows) to build KDE from source on Windows. – trent Jul 19 '16 at 13:51
  • Not really, no. I have never done it, only heard about it. Thank you for editing your answer, though. – trent Jul 19 '16 at 14:35
