Hi all The following is a collation of instructions just given by Fridrich Strba on the wp-dev list, following the announcement of v 0.7.0 of WriterPerfect:
"For those who were patiently waiting, here is the great news. WriterPerfect-0.7.0, WordPerfect import filter for OpenOffice.org 1.1.x was released on Friday, 11 February 2005. You can download the source package as well as the Windows installer from: http://libwpd.sourceforge.net/download.html WriterPerfect-0.7.0 is based on libwpd-0.8.0. " ======================================================================= Prerequisites: 1. A working OpenOffice installation (1.1.x). 2. A working OpenOfficeSDK, built against your OpenOffice installation. 3. A build environment compatible with your OpenOffice.org installation. <instructions> Steps: 1. Install OpenOffice. :-) 2. Download and install libgsf and libwpd (if you don't have it already, you can get it from http://libwpd.sourceforge.net). Get the latest writerperfect source tarball while you are there. Libgsf is available at (v 1.9.1 is latest): ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/libgsf/1.9/ 3. Get the OOo SDK (latest release version (for OOo 1.x) is 1.1.0_sdk, get it from your local mirror under stable/1.1.0_sdk, versions for Windows, Linux and Solaris available as tarballs or zip file. Untar/unzip your sdk somewhere sensible. 4. Set up your SDK using 'configure'. The configuration process of the SDK will ask you to provide a path to a working Java SDK installation You can get Java SDK (latest is 1.4.2_07, see the download page at: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/download.html 5. Set 'auto-deploy' to YES. Run 'setsdkenv_unix'. This will generate a shell using the OOo SDK. 6. Go into the writerfilter directory, type 'make -f Makefile.ooo-external. That's it. The filter should be installed automatically. If you want to install the filter for all users, you have to modify in the SDK the file settings/std.mk so that the variable DEPLOYTOOL="$(OFFICE_PROGRAM_PATH)$(PS)pkgchk" -f -s </end instructions> Notes: RedHat Enterprise Linux 4 that was released two days ago contains OpenOffice.org-1.1.2 build using ximian's ooo-build. And thus it contains the writerperfect-based import filter built-in. hth regards Martin --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
