[Evolution-hackers] Wanted to start Windows port of Evolution - Need help

["Christian Kraus" <hydrixos christiankraus de>]

Hi,

I googled severeal hours for searching the topic "Evolution port for
Windows". What I found are hundreds of threads in which people asking
whether a port of Evolution for Windows exists or not. Well it doesn´t. Some
people already tried to start one, according to a thread in the
evolution-hackers archive 11/2003. But since then I haven´t heard news about
it. At least some parts of gnome have been ported to Windows with cygwin
(Cygnome)

Of course, Ximian doesn´t seem to have a port. Well, as Ximian is a company
they don´t want to start a new project which means more work/supporttime for
them and no money they get for it. I don´t want Ximian doing the work.

Perhaps their developers, perhaps some of you already started to try a port
but didnt´t go on because of lack of time. Who knows ?
So I - and I think this is not only me who wants to- would like to wish that
you just give all your "porting experiments" to the public.  Let´s collect
all efforts of porting Evolution to the Windows platform and try to start a
new project.


thanks for your audience
