Office suite for OS4

Seems that there is QT port for OS4, so would it be easy task to port KOffice to OS4? Or are there other dependencies wich makes porting it to OS4 difficult?

Easier and faster task than Open Office? I belive it is feature rich enough to be usefull Office suite.

It has support for both MS/Open Office file formats etc.

I did search here, no actual results, in amigaworld there has been discussion about it in year 2006

Not sure what/if the qt port is missing stuff. Have you found the sources? no indication of other dependencies?

Dependencies are here: (apparently it is now called Calligra)
http://community.kde.org/Calligra/Bui ... lligra#Build_requirements

Following are the general must-have dependencies for Calligra:

Qt 4.6.0 or newer
kdelibs and kdelibs development files
the minimal requirement is currently 4.3.0, any 4.3, 4.4 or 4.5 release packaged in your distribution is OK
On opensuse the development package is called libkde4-devel; on Ubuntu and Debian it is called kdelibs5-dev. (TODO: add info for other distributions)
Calligra should also build fine with either kdelibs from git repository (see techbase for an explanation on how to compile kdelibs from svn), needed for parts of Calligra build with the Mobile Frameworks Profile of the KDE platform (kword, kspread, kpresenter, krita)
kdebase/runtime 4.3 or newer
cmake 2.6.2 or newer
lcms 1.18 or newer
libpng development package (libpng14-devel on opensuse, libpng-dev on Ubuntu/Debian)
development packages for other libraries may be needed; on ubuntu/Debian these can be installed using 'apt-get build-dep kdelibs5'

For Tables:

libeigen 2.0

For Krita:

libeigen 2.0
libexiv2 >= 0.16
libqimageblitz

For Stage:

boost

For Kexi:

sqlite3 and sqlite3-devel packages (package names can differ on various distributions), version >= 3.6.16

What version is the qt port? And the cmake port?
The other parts required are like chinese for me atleast. No idea what they are. And i doubt we have them allready.

Koffice would be wonderful.

@Antique

Qt 4.7
CMake 2.8.5
liblcms 1.17 (shouldn't be a problem to update, my local one might actually be newer already)
libpng 1.4 we have, not sure how up-to-date it is though
sqlite is around somewhere too

@chris
This might be a problem??

kdelibs and kdelibs development files

@Antique

I imagine so, yes.

They are built on top of Qt but I have no idea exactly what functionality they need (probably everything!)

Thanks Chris again :)

It seems to be easier task than Open Office?

I belive that OO has much more dependencies?

It is funny that search results here and aw are near zero. So it seems that anyone hasn't consider porting it to AOS. It is almost like there wouldn't be any other possibilites than OpenOffice

not familiar with Koffice myself but if it's at all similar to OO then I'm sure amigans will be very grateful if it gets ported

Well i mentioned it before but i didnt use Koffice or Office suite as title etc. You can find it here(read from the beginning):
http://www.amigans.net/modules/xforum ... t_id=65054#forumpost65054

You also have Libreoffice.

LibreOffice is actually same than Open Office

Ok my mistake but i also mentioned Koffice.

Yes you did, but nobody didn't catch that and thread title wasn't KOffice

Same in AW.net only KOffice thread is from 2006

No the title isnt Koffice but if you are interested in porting an office suit to OS4 i think that person would notice my comment in that thread. I think there are other reasons why they havent done it yet. I think i also mentioned it in a QT-thread but i m not 100% sure.

Anyway i hope Alfkill will give us some good news in the near future

Office suite would make upcoming netbook much more atractive for endduser from outside of amiga community.

OO woun't be ready for that, but maybe KOffice could?

Suggest a bounty at http://www.amigabounty.net/
- that's the easiest way to get started..

it would be a huge coup. the ability to work with modern file formats and have a modern office suite -- even if only the word processor, spreadsheet, and presentation tools -- would be the biggest thing to happen to OS4 in a very long time. combined with timberwolf, the combination would enable people -- myself included -- to actually replace their PCs with amiga NG systems.

and if both had OS4 themes, so they looked and felt like native applications, so much the better. i'd happily contribute substantial funds to a bounty for the porting of calligra words, stage, and tables to our platform. who's with me here?

maybe a project of this magnitude could interest alfkil and kas1e, among others? come on, fellows, name your price: we'll raise the money!
