 #    this file sets some environment variables that are needed
 #    for finding programs and libraries etc.
 #    by patrick von Reth <vonreth@kde.org>
 #    you should copy kdesettings.ini to ..\etc\kdesettings.ini
 #    and adapt it to your needs (see that file for more info)
 
 #    this file should contain all path settings - and provide thus an environment
 #    to build and run kde programs
 #    based on kdeenv.bat
