I'd like to appeal to you clever guys, in particular the kde wizards, to help me with the Scribus package. I have spent quite some time on this package, but it is now clear it is too big a fish for my modest knowledge of c++, libtool, qt, darwin bundles and all that.Does it use libtool or does it use its own module building system? If it uses libtool, adding a "-module" to the Makefile.am entry that is responsible for libpdf could do the job.
Scribus is a page layout program that has nicely evolved and seems to come close to serious usability now. Quite a few people have shown interest in the fink package. Unfortunately, it is not really usable on MacOSX, so far. I think it would be interesting and worth while to make it work.
The main problem are plugins. Scribus uses plugins for saving the document in ps or pdf format. It expects these plugins as *.so files, and I have not yet succeeded in convincing the scribus build process to compile such things. By default (scribus-0.8 in unstable does this), it produces libpdf.a and libpdf.la instead of libpdf.so. I have a version of scribus-0.9.3 in experimental/martinc that compiles dylibs instead, but apparently this is not what is needed. I suspect what is needed are bundles, but I don't know how to produce them.
Cheers,
Max
