KMyMoney

[T. J. Brumfield]

I work on the side for a small, start-up computer consulting company
that deals with small businesses. Almost all of these are dependent on
QuickBooks. With Microsoft Money closing shop, and one of my clients
having their financial data held hostage by a small, proprietary
accounting software that no longer exists, I've been looking for some
good FOSS accounting software. I see that KMyMoney imports from
QuickBooks (though that format changes with different versions, so I'm
not expecting this to work 100%). I also see that KMyMoney has been
ported to KDE 4. I'm not seeing any information on
Windows/Mac/Solaris/BSD ports.

The download page just has a source download. Has anyone tried
building it on Windows? Is there a good deal of additional porting
needed for KDE 4 apps to build on Windows usually?

In all fairness, QuickBooks may be the one app that is keeping some of
these clients in Windows. I might be able to try and get some clients
moved to Linux boxes with KMyMoney, but I'm guessing I'll have better
luck with one small change as opposed to a huge change.
