Task1: Windows port

purpose: Make a Windows (2000/XP/VISTA/7) x86_32 version of Kiwix. That means make working Makefiles and DLLs of/for the following 3 XPCOM components (zimAccessor, zimXapianIndexer, xapianAccessor). The compilation process must run in a POSIX environment (mingw) with GNU Makefiles and using the MS compiler (cl.exe) and linker (link.exe).

constraints: Must work with GNU Makefiles; Must be fully documented; Must provide a global script or Makefile doing all what is necessary to do (from downloading the dependence source code to provide a tar.gz with kiwix for Windows).; Must compile on mingw; Must compile with MS cl.exe; Components must be compiled statically; Providing support during 6 months following the due date.

due date: 2010-02-15

paid: 2000$

additional informations: There is already a prototype: binary and sources (search for the WinStudio project files).; Dependences are gecko-sdk, xapian, libunac, libzip2, zlib, liblzma (see here).

faq

Which version of the code source should be ported?: Use this archive

Where are the dependences?: All what is necessary should be available here. Visual Studio Express can be downloaded from MS Web site.

Which parts of Kiwix sources should run on Windows?: Only the client should be ported... actualy that means the XPCOM components in src/components

How do I know if it works?: You should be able to view/index/search through a ZIM file without issue. Concretely, if the 3 components register by starting xulrunner, the job is 99% done. There is a check here.

What does it mean... components have to register?: Please read that.

Where may I download a test ZIM file?: here

Should I compile the dependences or use the released binaries?: If possible (should be always possible except for xz-utils) yes. Constraints are the same as for Kiwix itself (GNU Makefile if necessary, doc, ...)

Should I compile also xulrunner?: Like you want. This is not mandatory... if not use the binary version of the SDK and runtime here

Do I have to work on the code itself?: No, you should not... if this seems necessary, contact immediatly Emmanuel. In any case, this is not part of the workpackage/contract.

How may I commit my work?: The whole stuff should be available on the subversion repository of Kiwix. Please communicate your sourceforge nickname to Emmanuel and he will allow you SVN commit.

Where should I have a look if I have specific questions?: Contact asap Emmanuel per email, jabber (kelson -at- kiwix.org) or visit the IRC #kiwix channel on Freenode.

How to compile the client with Windows: Read this page

Task2: Windows installer

purpose: Make a Windows installer for Kiwix and Kiwix content (ZIM files and Xapian search indexes)

constraints: Must use NSIS (Nullsoft Scriptable Install System); Must have standard install/uninstall process; Must have a full documentation about how to build the installer; Must provide a global script or Makefile doing all what is necessary to do.; Providing support during 6 months following the due date.; Must compile on mingw

due date: 2010-02-15

paid: 500$

additional informations: There is already something, code needs to be adapted: ISO of the last version and code

contact: emmanuel _at_ engelhart.org

Task3: Windows DVD launcher

purpose: Make a DVD launcher (run by the autorun) to give the choice over run/install/exit Kiwix

constraints: Must use a specific code base; Must have a full documentation about how to build the installer; Must provide a global script or Makefile doing all what is necessary to do.; Must compile on mingw; Providing support during 6 months following the due date.

due date: 2010-02-15

paid: 300$
