: Make a Windows(2000/XP/VISTA/7) x86_32 version of Kiwix | : 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 ([http://kiwix.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/kiwix/moulinkiwix/src/components/zimAccessor/ zimAccessor], [http://kiwix.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/kiwix/moulinkiwix/src/components/zimXapianIndexer/ zimXapianIndexer], [http://kiwix.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/kiwix/moulinkiwix/src/components/xapianAccessor/ 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). | ||

:; Which version of the code source should be ported? | |||
::''Use this [http://tmp.kiwix.org/src/nightly/kiwix-svn-2010-02-19.tar.bz2 archive] | |||
:; Where are the dependences? | |||
::''All what is necessary should be available [http://download.kiwix.org/dev/ 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 [http://kiwix.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/kiwix/moulinkiwix/kiwix/chrome/content/main/js/tools.js?revision=1150&view=markup here]. | |||

== Windows installer == | :; 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 [http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/xulrunner/releases/1.9.1.7/ 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. | |||
