Hi folks, As requested, I have made a version of psiconv that can be distributed with AbiWord. As it is rather too big to send to this list (around 170K after gzipping), I have instead put it on my website. You can find it at http://huizen.dds.nl/~frodol/psiconv/psiconv-abipeer.tgz You will also need to apply the patch which is both attached to this mail and can also be found as http://huizen.dds.nl/~frodol/psiconv/psiconv-abipeer.diff.gz WARNING: This patch will enable psiconv for all platforms, even though it is not tested on all of them! Compile failures may follow! Apply at your own risk... Some comments on the build system (please read this before applying it): * First the peer directory is checked; if nothing is found in it, the system directories /usr/include and /usr/local/include are checked for a `psiconv' directory, and if found, a system-wide install is assumed. The system-wide install check is probably only good enough for Unix, but you can't have everything. * If the peer directory psiconv is used, it is linked statically to the abiword binary; if a system-wide install is used, a dynamically linked library will be picked up if found. * The intermediate object files and the resulting library are not put into the global build library, but in the psiconv peer directory. If somebody wants to change that, he is welcome to do so; but right now, it makes life a lot easier on me. As there is no difference between debug builds and normal builds for libpsiconv, it should be safe. * Psiconv uses autoconf, automake and libtool. It builds completely independent of the abi tree. It picks up its own versions of functions not generally available on all platforms, instead of the abiword ones. Again, if people want to, they are free to change this. * I have removed the ABI_OPT_PSICONV Makefile define * I have put psiconv into require/xp/Makefile . If it turns out not to build at all for certain platforms, we will have to move it to the platform-dependent Makefiles. * The version of libpsiconv is the same as in the package psiconv-0.8.0. You will need to apply the patchset I sent earlier before it will all compile. Because of the double patch, you may get some warnings when applying this; line offset faults should be harmless, though. I'm looking forward to all compilation problems ;-) Frodo -- Frodo Looijaard <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> PGP key and more: http://huizen.dds.nl/~frodol Defenestration n.
