Cantor support on Windows
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

This task serves to monitor the @ladeia's work in his Season of KDE 2016 project: provide Windows support to Cantor.

The expected results are:

  • Cantor running on Windows;
  • Create a Cantor installer for Windows;
  • Verify which changes need to be done to port properly each Cantor backend for Windows.

Good luck @ladeia! ;)

@ladeia, your first step is to provide a schedule of your work. You will perform the follow works:

  • study the strategies used by some KDE software with Windows support, the advantages and disadvantages of each approach;
  • select one (or a set of) strategy to test;
  • configure your KDE/Qt building environment in Windows;
  • try to implement the strategy, changing the Cantor source code where it is need.

Could you provide some time window to perform each work (or more works not listed) above?

Humm @filipesaraiva ,

I will add two more minor tasks:

  • List some kde softwares with windows version - 2 days
  • Select three softwares for study windows version - 1 day
  • Study the strategies used by some KDE software with Windows support, the advantages and disadvantages of each approach; - 9 days(three for each project)
  • Select one (or a set of) strategy to test; - 1 day
  • Configure your KDE/Qt building environment in Windows; - 2 days
  • Try to implement the strategy, changing the Cantor source code where it is need. - ???

i believe this is my first cronogram.

I think your time allocation for each task is very short, but ok.

Go ahead and follow your schedule! :)

Today we make a meeting and we think Kate, KDevelop and Kritas are best choices for analising.

We talk again next week.

Hi @ladeia, please put here what we discussed in last meeting. I like to register all the project life, tasks, meetings, etc. :)
