Re: Help with using wv2 application.
On 02/05/04 06:19 PM, JJB sat at the `puter and typed: The FBSD Wv2 has 32 dependant ports. There is no way I am going to fight my way through cvsup-ing all those config files and then download the 32 sources and compile each one, just to find out it's broken also. Thats the whole reason I used the package collection. So I guess you are saying the FBSD wv2 package is broken and I should submit an PR and email the maintainer directly. http://wvware.sourceforge.net/ says it's an very small source with command line options and it does not have any dependants, so I do not understand just what all that FBSD dependant stuff is for. Sure looks like overkill, or an very major screw up. Who ever ported this sure was out in left field and there was no one monitoring their handy work to verify it was done correctly. And what about some kind of intended use and overview description. The 5 word description is useless. An much better job has to be done that that. I see the same problem with many other ports. What good is an inventory of 9600 ports when there is no information to explain to the installer how to get started. My ESP just is not that good. My bad. As mentioned by someone else in this thread, wv2 isn't what you're looking for. You want wv, which has the executables in question. The descriptions of those ports are actually clear on this fact: Port: wv-1.0.0 Path: /usr/ports/textproc/wv Info: A library and executables to access Microsoft Word files Port: wv2-0.2.1 Path: /usr/ports/textproc/wv2 Info: A library providing routines to access Microsoft Word/Excel files Notice there are no executables, just libraries in wv2. And wv does have dependencies in the ports. If I'm not mistaken, the runtime dependencies will install automatically when a package is installed - unless you force no-deps, which would mean it won't run anyway. The build dependencies are only installed when the port is built.

Help with using wv2 application.
Installed the wv2 package and all of it's dependants. Sure seems a lot of over kill just for an utility to convert ms/word files to html. Am I missing something here.

Re: Help with using wv2 application.
Sorry, wv (= wvWare) and wv2 are two different beasts. AFAIK wv2 is a library, not utility, and is used only by KWord (KDE wordprocessor, from editors/koffice-kde3) as a backend for M$ Word format exporter, and Ruby wrapper ruby-rwv2 (grep -lr wv2 /usr/ports, BTW).
