KompoZer 0.8a1 now on Windows
By Kazé on Friday, February 13 2009, 12:06 - Permalink
I’ve just built a win32 version of KompoZer 0.8a1.
Warning, it’s an alpha release. There might be more bugs than in the Linux version because I haven’t had the time to test this build properly: setting up a Windows environment and getting KompoZer to build on this platform took me much more time than expected, now I have to focus on bugfixes and getting the “make install” to work — and I confess I’m *much* more productive on Linux.
Windows users, here you go:
- download this archive:
kompozer-20090206-win32.zipkompozer-20090206a-win32.zip - unzip it somewhere (e.g. in your “Documents” directory)
- rename your
C:\Documents and Settings\{user}\Application Data\KompoZerprofile (e.g.KompoZer.bak) - double-click on
kompozer.exe(e.g. in your “Documents\KompoZer” directory) to start KompoZer
Don’t try to install any langpack yet, they need to be updated for this version.
Again, please do NOT report bugs in this blog: use the SourceForge tracker or one of these forums:
A few annoying bugs have already been reported on KompoZer 0.8a1: the preferences window is buggy, the CSS editor has lost its icons, the tabs in the CSS editor aren’t disabled properly when no style rule is selected, and quite a few UI bugs need to be addressed. I’ll do my best to release an alpha2 as soon as possible, and I’ll take more time to test this version properly in both Windows and Linux.
Update: I forgot to include msvcp70.dll and msvcr70.dll in the kompozer-20090206-win32.zip archive.
These DLLs are now included in kompozer-20090206a-win32.zip.
Sorry for the trouble. Zefling, thanks for reporting this problem!

why don't you use bugzilla.mozilla.org? it would make it easier for existing mozilla contributors, and it would be more visible.
mmc > because unfortunately, KompoZer is not a Mozilla project: Nvu was supposed to be backported to Mozilla but this never happened.
Having a common Bugzilla is one of the reasons why I’d like to backport KompoZer to SeaMonkey Composer.
