Hi,
This may be interesting for those of you dreaming of full Kexi on Windows to be available sooner than later - Kexi project is looking for donation: at least one legal license for Windows 7 Pro 32-bit (English).

VMware and Visual Studio software will be used to prepare and maintain Kexi for Windows (XP and newer).

Thanks in advance.

Hi, are you still looking for "at least one legal license for Windows 7 Pro 32-bit (English)."? or any other windows versions as I may be able to help you with this. I have several computers, which had a variety of windows versions when bought but i have since upgraded many of them to later windows versions. So i am more than willing to let you have the license numbers for these versions...

All the best...Paul

Yes, I am interested, thanks.

Hi,

Yes,i was just editing out the details when i realised it was visible to everyone..Thanks.

Yes, I saved al lthe details and I'll try to use them after I download an ISO file. Thanks a lot for great support!

Hi there!

is there an older Windows version of Kexi I can use??
I'm interested in supporting Kexi for Windows... what could I help? I'm not a programmer...

How is this going? By the looks of it, you received a Windows license in 2013. Also, someone was asking whether there is an old version.
If I don't hear from you, I'll make an attempt to compile it myself.

Any news on the availability of Kexi on Windows?

Hi asbach, jorgk3 and Tralen!
Update. I am actually collecting funds to make sure this version is maintained.
The virtual machine barely works (but works thanks to the donated Windows license). A native workstation is a must long term. Guess what - these workstations are not free in stores around
Having it just for Windows makes sense or not but people that will work on the Windows version have to see a strong reason for this purchase.
This is a reason #1 why the development takes time.

Reason #2: Kexi is going through some restructuring for Qt 5: https://community.kde.org/Kexi/Porting_to_Qt%26KF_5
A big question is if we want a Qt 4 port on Windows or waiting for the Qt 5 version.
It's not possible to just take the resources out of the Qt 5 port and put them on the 'Windows port' task. Resources have to be _added_ this or another way.

The Windows version will eventually rock, enjoying a native installer (like Krita for Windows https://krita.org/download/krita-desktop/) with online updates and will be a fairy compact app, without you noticing it's most known from the KDE Plasma desktop.

PS: Support is now possible since a month: for example 4 days left for the #Kexi fundraiser: https://www.bountysource.com/teams/kexi/fundraiser
There are also other issues that can be supported https://www.bountysource.com/teams/kexi/issues. Anyone can add own wish, including the "Add Windows version" on Github and publish on Bountysource.

Hi all,

I successfully compiled Kexi for Windows this weekend.
It still has some problems - but in general it's working.

Problems I found:

* open dialog not working
* missing icons in Form Editor

If you want to give it a try: http://stefan.roehrach.de/huge_files/kexiWin.7z

Thanks! The one officially supported on Windows one is going to be version 3 so I hope you'd be interested in building this version. Unfinished universal build recipe: https://community.kde.org/Calligra/Building/3. Feel free to ask questions regarding this build.

Kexi 2.9 will not receive updates of fixes (at least from me).

Hi Jaroslaw,

I'm glad to hear that Kexi 3 will be back on Windows.
I built from git://anongit.kde.org/kexi.git - hope this is the latest and greatest

I had to do nearly no changes to the code - only some CMake stuff.
The only thing that not builds for me is the scripting plugin - but seems to be a small thing to do also.
The open dialog and missing icon stuff seems to be sort of copy files to correct folder only.

For the most applications I write in QT I often think - this might be faster if I had something like Kexi
but all my friends and colleagues are using Windows and so I often have the pain to write it from scratch.

You might say you can use Base or Access but it's not as easy and intuitive like Kexi.
Especially I like the cool scripting and the user-mode.

I think Kexi is too cool to be on Linux only

Ah so yes, that's Kexi 3. Many updates are expected as soon as I merge things like https://blogs.kde.org/2016/06/01/kexi-3. It will need testers to mature.

Kexi is raising to be more powerful app creator indeed.

Scripting from Kexi 2 is discontinued in favour of not yet implemented QJsEngine-based one. Home page: https://community.kde.org/Kexi/Plugins/Scripts.

Good thing is that by the time we need it, Qt 5.7 will be around with cool debugging features we may depend on: https://wiki.qt.io/New_Features_in_Qt_5.7.

I am curious if you'd be interested in contributing at some point to some Kexi modules.
Anyway, please keep yourself updated and share that with the world

Hi Jaroslaw,

thanks for the interesting links.
I know that QtScript is deprecated in QT and I already tried a bit with
QML and JS and think its a worthy replacement for it.

Yes, I already thought about contributing
It was when I read a post some time ago (I think it was from you)
that aimed to port Kexi to WT (for those who don't know: https://www.webtoolkit.eu/wt).
This would be the ultimate app creator

But fun apart. I would be glad to contribute but I don't know how much time I can offer.
But if you need help, feel free to ask. I'll see what I can do.

Thanks you very much. We will surely have many smaller tasks. I do realize larger ones are harder to finalize.

I would recommend mailing list and IRC for development-related contacts https://community.kde.org/Kexi/Contact.
