Building the OpenOffice (TM) Writer plugin for AbiWord (R)
requires requires libgsf ( ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/libgsf )
[personally using 1.8.1 for Win32, see abiword.pchasm.org/source/plugins/ ]
which in turn requires glib ( http://www.gtk.org/ )
[personally using WinGimp's GLIB 2.2.2 dll with its iconv, dev headers, etc.
http://www.gimp.org/win32/ ]
I believe the auto build on Unix Systems (R) (e.g. Linux (R) ) will
properly detect and use system installed libgsf, glib, ...
however on Windows these libraries should be placed off the peer
libs/ subdirectory or adjust the Makefiles prior to building.
On Windows to build:
- copy the required libraries (libgsf, glib) so the Makefiles
can find the libs and headers
[zlib is also required, but the peer zlib built library is used]
- then cd into the WordPerfect directory and run
make
- you will probably see some warnings, but will get a mostly working plugin
- copy the glib files (libglib-2.0-0.dll, libgobject-2.0-0.dll, iconv.dll and
intl.dll) to the bin subdirectory (same location as AbiWord.exe) and
if necessary copy the plugin to the plugin directory
- AbiWord should now be able to import WordPerfect files.
On Unix Systems:
- build the same way you build other plugins via auto build system
