It's a known bug actually, but over at the Codeweavers folks. We'll just 
have to wait, until (Plugin|Office) 2.0 are released. That's going to 
happen in about 2 months, according to the Codeweavers guys.

But a longish startup time doesn't make a kde app run bad in different 
environments/window managers, does it? kdelibs requiring kdebase is 
indeed a bad idea, I agree with that. There should at least be the 
possibility to choose for oneself.

Re: [Cooker] Bitstream Vera Fonts Now Available: Is there Anyway to Add them To 9.1?

I think that crap is not really the correct word to describe the 
difference between Vera Sans and Verdana. They look very similar, but 
regarding my first impression, I have to agree with Adam. Verdana looks 
cleaner than Vera Sans in my eyes. But that's subjective in many ways. 
Anyhow, Vera Sans definitely looks way better than the usual Helvetica 
and it would be a blast to see them included in Mdk 9.1, maybe even as 
standard fonts.

Re: [Cooker] Umbrello Codegenerators - spec fix

2003-02-18 Thread Mathias Meyer
That's what I got from the author(s):

 snip 
I think the .la file is needed in /usr/lib for the usual libtool reasons
and in /usr/share/apps/umbrello/codegenerators so that Umbrello can find
it when it's looking for code generation libraries.
 snap 

Seems like that .la is definitely needed in /usr/share/

I hope, it helped somehow ;)

Me neither. That's just Umbrello's default behaviour, if installed from 
source. If you look at the RPMs the Umbrello guys made avaible for 
download on their site, they always contain two libcodegenerator.la. But 
I think asking the maintainers would obviously be the best, so I'll 
contact them.

The attached patch fixes that problem on my system. During %install 
libcodegenerator.la is moved from 
BUILD_ROOT/usr/share/apps/umbrello/codegenerators to BUILD_ROOT/usr/lib, 
although that exact file already exists in that location. I added the 
needed file to libumbrello0 and disabled the unnecessary moving.

[Cooker] Umbrello Codegenerators

2003-02-12 Thread Mathias Meyer
Hi everyone,

can anyone test please, if the Code-Generator Library in Umbrello is found 
with the RPMs from contrib? On my system, Umbrello doesn't enable 
code-generation until I create a symlink to /usr/lib/libcodegenerator.la 
in /usr/share/apps/umbrello/codegenerators. If Umbrello finds its lib, 
the user can choose a generation language in Code->Active Language.

Mathias

Not in mine. Still a lot of features missing in MySQL. Things like 
sub-select, views, triggers, stored procedures, you name it. if you've 
ever worked with oracle or postgres, you don't want to miss those for the 
world. But anyway, MySQL 4.0.10 was released last week.
