To install read the README.cmake file in the root folder of the source. The basic steps are the following:

== Installation  ==


To execute, either look for KMyMoney on the Office menu, or type kmymoney in a console window.
=== Requirements  ===


== Guidelines  ==
KMyMoney depends on KDE SC 4.4+. Specifically on kdelibs and kde PIM libs. Additionally, you may want to install other libraries that will provide additional functionality:


This version is only suitable for early adopters. It will behave fairly well, but the application might crash and you may lose some data. Make backups often.  
*libofx >= 0.9.2
*Aqbanking >= 5.0.0
*quote::finance


For 3.95 version and later, we use the Bugzilla tracker at bugs.kde.org. Any bugs you find, please report it and assign to product kmymoney4. Also, if you need help write to [email protected].
=== Installation steps  ===


== Development guidelines ==
If possible, it is always preferred to use a package specifically prepared for your distribution. However, if one is not available, or you want a more recent version, you can use the latest tarball.  If you really need the most recent version, such as to test a new bug fix, get the source from [https://projects.kde.org/projects/extragear/office/kmymoney KDE Git] at
* '''git://anongit.kde.org/kmymoney'''.


As a first step, we are leaving Qt3Support, if possible. There are cases when it is best to port to the corresponding Qt4 classes. Examples of these are the QButtonGroups, KActions, KPageWidget, QTabBar
To install, read the README.cmake file in the root folder of the source. The basic steps are the following:


For now, focus on make it work. Assess whether it will be faster using Qt3Support or a newer class.  
First, make sure you have uninstalled any old versions of kmymoney through your package manager and/or '''sudo make uninstall''' depending on how it was installed last time. Then:


The repository to use is the one in KDE SVN. svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/trunk/playground/office/kmymoney.
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/
$ make # This step may be needed twice
$ make install


<br>
It is important that the prefix is the same one that is used by your already installed KDE software.  If it does not match, you will run into problems later.
'''(The last step should be executed with admin privileges. Either switch to root or use sudo, or the appropriate steps for your installation)'''


== Blocking issues  ==
To execute, either look for KMyMoney on the Office menu, or type kmymoney in a console window.


These are the issues that need to be fixed first before releasing a beta version.  
=== Localization ===
'''If you are installing from Git source, you need to install your locale files by hand. If you are installing from the tarball provided above, please skip this section.'''


*<s>Entering a transaction and hitting an account limit will get the application in a loop which ends in a crash</s>
To localize you will need to download the appropriate kmymoney.po file from http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/l10n-kde4/&lt;country_code&gt;/messages/extragear-office/ (replace &lt;country_code&gt; with the correct one for your locale e.g. es would give http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/l10n-kde4/es/messages/extragear-office/) and then, either by switching to root or using sudo, do the following:
*<s>Reinvest dividend transaction form never enables the Enter button</s>
*<s>Enter does not work for transaction enter, only Return does.(not as important as the other, but it's a nag in a main part of the application)</s>
*<s>Port AqBanking plugin</s> ''Note: KBanking compiles against at Qt4 AqBanking. Still need to test if it really works (ipwizard)''
*There are a couple of occurrences of '''Uninitialized variables''' warnings during the build. We should fix those.  
*Several files are rebuilt if '''make''' is executed twice in a row.  
*<s>After the payee completer depletes al possible completions when typing a payee's name the typed text is selected so if the user continues to type all characters entered so far are lost</s>


== Areas known to work  ==
*Copy the kmymoney.po file into /usr/share/locale/&lt;country_code&gt;/
*In that folder run:


I thought that we can put here a list of features that are known to work (after a developer testing):
  $ msgfmt kmymoney.po -o LC_MESSAGES/kmymoney.mo


<br>
  Note: use the msgfmt that comes with your distribution not the one needed for kmymoney2.

The following are on my TODO list but that does not mean that I don't need any help on them:
 
*<s>Check all the KListView classes that save their layout and make sure that works (restoreLayout was called in polish() in the Institutions view and polish() is not called anymore)</s>(done)
*<s>Check what's up with the transaction form in the ledger</s>(done)
*<s>Work on the transaction form since I see it as the hardest thing to port and once it is done (with qt3 support) we can go one and work on the following bullet</s>(done)
*<s>Try to fix various small stuff that don't work yet until a usable application is obtained</s>(done)
*<s>Check for multiple instances. It was using DCOP, and it has to be migrated to a method suitable with DBus.</s>
*<s>Port the KBanking plugin to KDE4 and add it the KMyMoney source tree</s>
*Although the code that takes care of the drawing of the highlighter of the drop target in kmymoneyaccounttreebase.cpp was ported the drop target is not highlighted
 
=== asoliverez  ===
 
<s>I will work on the account selector, probably migrate it to Qt4 widgets, because it does all kinds of weird stuff that can be probably optimized.</s> (fixed by conet) Working on the i18n and documentation issues with KDE-i18n team. Also going through the Krazy report, and fixing issues there.  


=== ipwizard  ===
For 3.95 version and later, we use the Bugzilla tracker at bugs.kde.org (BKO). Any bugs you find, please report it and assign to product kmymoney4. Also, if you need help write to [email protected].


I will try to keep the strings together and work on coordination for the integration of/with other KDE applications. On the code front maybe setting up the Qt-Designer plugin for the KMyMoney widgets.
=== Link to Debian bugs ===
The bugs in Debian tracker can be linked back to BKO


*<s>Getting the GPG encryption to work with either [http://api.kde.org/kdesupport-api/kdesupport-apidocs/qca/html/index.html QCA] or [http://api.kde.org/4.1-api/kdepim-apidocs/libkleo/html/index.html libkleo]</s> Replaced using [http://api.kde.org/4.3-api/kdepim-apidocs/libkleo/html/index.html libkleo]

Installation

Requirements

KMyMoney depends on KDE SC 4.4+. Specifically on kdelibs and kde PIM libs. Additionally, you may want to install other libraries that will provide additional functionality:

  • libofx >= 0.9.2
  • Aqbanking >= 5.0.0
  • quote::finance

Installation steps

If possible, it is always preferred to use a package specifically prepared for your distribution. However, if one is not available, or you want a more recent version, you can use the latest tarball. If you really need the most recent version, such as to test a new bug fix, get the source from KDE Git at

To install, read the README.cmake file in the root folder of the source. The basic steps are the following:

First, make sure you have uninstalled any old versions of kmymoney through your package manager and/or sudo make uninstall depending on how it was installed last time. Then: 

$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/
$ make # This step may be needed twice
$ make install

It is important that the prefix is the same one that is used by your already installed KDE software. If it does not match, you will run into problems later. (The last step should be executed with admin privileges. Either switch to root or use sudo, or the appropriate steps for your installation)

To execute, either look for KMyMoney on the Office menu, or type kmymoney in a console window.

Localization

If you are installing from Git source, you need to install your locale files by hand. If you are installing from the tarball provided above, please skip this section.

To localize you will need to download the appropriate kmymoney.po file from http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/l10n-kde4/<country_code>/messages/extragear-office/ (replace <country_code> with the correct one for your locale e.g. es would give http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/l10n-kde4/es/messages/extragear-office/) and then, either by switching to root or using sudo, do the following:

  • Copy the kmymoney.po file into /usr/share/locale/<country_code>/
  • In that folder run:
  $ msgfmt kmymoney.po -o LC_MESSAGES/kmymoney.mo

  Note: use the msgfmt that comes with your distribution not the one needed for kmymoney2.

Debian dependencies

build-essential cmake kdelibs5-dev kdepimlibs5-dev libaqbanking29-dev libboost-graph-dev libfinance-quote-perl libgpgme11-dev libgwenhywfar47-dev libical-dev libjpeg62-dev libofx-dev libpng12-dev libsqlite3-dev libz-dev gettext

Guidelines

This version is only suitable for early adopters. It will behave fairly well, but the application might crash and you may lose some data. Make backups often.

For 3.95 version and later, we use the Bugzilla tracker at bugs.kde.org (BKO). Any bugs you find, please report it and assign to product kmymoney4. Also, if you need help write to [email protected].
