Oups, I just realized that we did not include the filter's build instructions in the tarball. Here they are for other adventurers :-) :


=======================================================================
Prerequisites:

1. A working OpenOffice installation (1.1).
2. A working SDK, built against your OpenOffice installation.
3. A build environment compatible with your OpenOffice.org installation.

I have tested this with Ximian OpenOffice.org 1.1 on RedHat 9, using a hacked-up odk.
It seems to work for me.


Steps:

1. Install OpenOffice. :-)
2. Install libgsf and libwpd (if you don't have it already, you can get it from http://libwpd.sourceforge.net).
3. Untar/unzip your sdk somewhere sensible.
4. Set up your SDK using 'configure'. Set 'auto-deploy' to YES.
Run 'setsdkenv_unix'.
5. Go into the writerfilter directory, type 'make'.


That's it. The filter should be installed automatically.
