Haiku is a UNIX-like open source operating system that provides a tool called haikuporter to build 3rd party open source software.

A recipe in Haiku is a text file that the haikuporter tool reads in order to build open source software and create packages for it. The collection of recipes that may be built by haikuporter is called HaikuPorts.

If you are new to Haiku then you should probably start with these tasks:

• [New to Haiku? Do this one first] Install and Run Haiku
• Install and run HaikuPorter

The goal of this task is to port libqxp, a library that parses the file format of QuarkXPress documents. It is used by LibreOffice.

See build instructions here: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/DLP/Libraries/libqxp

You can browse the sources here: https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/gitweb?p=libqxp.git;a=summary

For this task we don't need the user interface to be ported, just the command line mode.

The recipe should be added to haikuports at haikuports/app-text/libqxp.

For more information, see our wiki page "Haikuporter recipe task".

If the software requires several dependencies (libraries for example) that have not yet been ported, let us know, we can create tasks for those as well.

Available time is only 3 days but it can be increased on request.
