On debian unstable

make sure you have autotools-dev & gtk-doc-tools  installed


%sudo apt-get build-dep gnumeric

%cvs -d ':pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvs/gnome' login
(use enter as the password)

%cvs co goffice
%cd goffice
%sh autogen prefix=/usr
%make
%sudo make install

%cd ..
%cvs co gnumeric
%cd gnumeric
%sh autogen prefix=/usr
%make
%sudo make install

Got me a shiny new cvs gnumeric on a newly installed debian sid box
today :-)

Judging from the NEWS file I fixed that around 1.5.3.  Current stable release
is 1.6.3

My own experience is that it is not too difficult to GET the code, but 
the configure/compile/link are far from trivial. The main issues in my 
case have been libraries that are not as recent as Gnumeric wants. 
Unfortunately, installing newer libraries can "break" other 
applications. There are ways round this I've heard about but not tried, 
in large measure because I haven't found a good tutorial that might be 
entitled "How to safely build a program that uses more recent libraries 
than your system uses". I'd be happy to learn of such a HowTo, or to 
contribute to its development by being a suitable test "stooge".


One thing I have done is use Debian "apt-get source gnumeric" to get a 
version of the source code I COULD build. In my case I managed fine with 
1.4.3 on a Xandros 3.02 box, and 1.5.9 on Ubuntu Breezy.

How to permantely remove the OBJECT Toolbar

2006-04-25 Thread Shelton D'Cruz
Hi

I have GNUMERIC 1.4.3 installed on my Gentoo box with KDE as my desktop.  One 
thing that I would like to do is permantely remove the Object Toolbar.  When 
I remove it from view after starting gnumeric, after I close and restart 
gnumeric again, the Object toolbar is back. 

Is there a setting somewhere that I can change to make this permanent ?

Thanks
Shelton.

Re: How to cvs

2006-04-25 Thread Morten Welinder
It's the kind of question that if you have to ask, you probably shouldn't
be doing it, :-)  It is not simple and there are more traps than you might
want.

But to answer the question, first see http://developer.gnome.org/tools/cvs.html
Then do something like this...

./autogen.sh [configure options go here]
make
make install
