INSTALLATION General ======= Since libwps was based on librevenge code (for convenience), you need to install librevenge in order to build libwps. You can get librevenge from: - librevenge <http://libwpd.sourceforge.net/download.html> Unix/Linux ========== Installation on Unix/Linux should be simple. Simply execute the following sequence of commands: ./configure ; make ; su -c 'make install' Extensive installation instructions can be found in the INSTALL file. Windows - Microsoft(tm) Visual Studio/C++ ========================================= A workspace for MSVC6 can be found in the ./build/win32/ directory. This workspace contains a projects file to compile a release version or a debug version of libwps. NOTE: Using the MSVC build system will result in a static library only. No dll can be created yet using this build system. If you want to create a dll, please use the MingW build system (see below for details). Windows - MinGW =============== First of all, in order to use librevenge in your application, you do not need to build it yourself. If you have access to a binary distribution, you are encouraged to use it. If for whatever reason you still want to build librevenge using MinGW, read following instructions. * Build environment and dependencies In order to build librevenge, you have to have installed MinGW distribution from http://www.mingw.org. Because the build system of libwps uses autotools, you must install also the MSys packages. It is advisable to install all recent packages into a path that does not contain spaces. Besides the MinGW distribution, you have to install the _runtime_ and _development_ packages of libwps dependency librevenge from libwpd.sourceforge.net/download.html. The packages you need are librevenge-{version}-MinGW.zip and librevenge-devel-{version}-MinGW.zip * Build procedure 1. Unpack the source code by running: gunzip -dc libwps-{version}.tar.gz | tar xpf You can also use WinZip or any other GUI compression tool. 2. Next, run: export ACLOCAL_FLAGS='-I <pkg-config installation prefix>/share/aclocal'; \ ./autogen.sh Some versions of libtool have bug that prevents MinGW from creating shared libraries. The autogen.sh script "libtoolizes" the package using the libtool included with MinGW distribution. Like that you are sure that your libtool is able to create DLLs. The ACLOCAL_FLAGS variable is there in order to allow the auto* scripts to find the pkg.m4 macro that is part of the pkg-config distribution. If this macro is not found, the generated configure script will be ending with an error. 3. Time to configure libwps; run: ./configure [--prefix=<target>] [--enable-static] [--disable-shared] By default, the configure script uses as prefix "/usr/local" and configures to create only shared libraries. Myself, I build using following options: "./configure --prefix=/target --enable-static --enable-shared" 4. Nearly done. Make sure you have a clean build by running: make clean all 5. And last but not least, compile and install librevenge by running: make install [-i] If you configure using "--enable-static --disable-shared" (pure static library creation), the libtool import libraries are not created. Make will try to install them and will stop with error. The "-i" option makes it to report the error, but not to stop. Like that the installation will succeed. That's all folks! For more information, ask questions at the mailing list libwps-devel@list.sourceforge.net. Remember that Uncle Google can also be of big help especially when the problem is not with libwps, but with one of its dependencies.
