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).
- contact
- emmanuel _at_ engelhart.org
- 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

- 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

- 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.
