Re: Abiword for OS2008?
 

It's just me. The instructions were accurate, but we applied in different conditions. It would be nice if my initial trials could give some help ...

Re: Abiword for OS2008?
 

Yes, it seems that I had some confusion - libgsf-1-114 is in the bora sdk repository (I think - just repository.maemo.org bora free). I'll have to see what we need to do to use this in a normal build and for normal users to install - do we have to move this to maemo extras, or what?

You should have just received an mail from me as an answer on the thread in the maemo-developers mailinglist, which should give an answer for your problems. :)

Re: Abiword for OS2008?
 

any news on the ability of abiword to import MS Word files? That I think would be one of the reasons for installing abiword. I really get a lot of emails with MS Word attachments that I cannot read :-(((

Re: Abiword for OS2008?
 

I think that you can find an answer in a preceding post: http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...4&postcount=72
Basically, it depens from the version of libwv, which takes care of ms word conversions; current version (1.2.4) unfortunately doesn't work well in maemo environment.

There is already a patch for this,
See here: http://bugzilla.abisource.com/show_bug.cgi?id=10961
for the detailed progress in abiword bugzilla.

Thanks, but looking at your link the last post is:
Does that mean it's out there somewhere?

Re: Abiword for OS2008?
 

This is the current situation, i guess. I think Ryan will say when there will be any new on this. In the meanwhile, i think the only viable option is to apply the patch and rebuild libwv .

Bye,

With regard to WV, the patch has been commited to SVN but not packaged in a release. I will talk with Dom and figure out how we will handle this - as of right now, it's mostly just getting bits in the right places (from my viewpoint) and not really a problem any more. I'll build a test release from WV SVN for the beta testers sometime soon here to be sure that the fix in fact works.

It would be great if everyone beta testing would subscribe to this thread so I don'thave to send PM's to 20 people... :D

I've uploaded a new build - few changes, except it's built with debug turned on, so the hackers amongst you can run it in GDB on the tablet and help fix bugs (get backtraces of crashes, etc). A quick guide to doing this on a 2007 tablet (likely similar on 2008) is here: http://maemo.org/development/documen...ing_guide.html

Still excited... WV is getting fixed, this might even lead to Gnumeric's Excel import getting fixed too... thanks everyone, especially Ryan!

Re: Abiword for OS2008?
 

I've done just before reading this :)

Great. I was starting thinking about rebuilding with dbg enabled ...
