Hello,
I have a suse 8.2 distro and I try to compile
my own version of koffice.
This is what I have done so far :
-update of the distribution using the packages on the
suse website so that I have qt 3.2 and KDE 3.1.4
-remove the koffice installation from
the opt/kde3 prefix
-compilation of the koffice 1.3 beta 4; I tried to
compile one of the snapshots first, but that didn't
work; to avoid unknown problems I figured that it would
be wiser to try with the beta first...
-there were some minor problems that i could solve
by updating the libxml2 and libxslt packages (again
by using the update on the suse website)
- I configured with --prefix=/home/march/usr;
configure was ok, expcept for a warning regarding
the kword Word filter for which I seem to be missing
the source (message says download from sourceforge?)
- compilation and install went OK! Wow!
- I adapted /home/march/kderc by adding :
[Directories]
prefixes=/home/march/usr
and (to be on the safe side) I modified etc/kde3rc
which now has
[Directories]
prefixes=/etc/opt/kde3/:/home/march/usr
- I restarted my computer because I could not run
kbuildsycoca (?). At the launch of KDE my system
seemed to be spending a lot more time than usual...
- I cannot run any of the koffice applications :
clicking the application in konqueror gives a
"Couldn't find the program 'name_of_the_application' " error
launching from a console gives a
"koffice (lib kofficecore): ERROR: Couldn't find
the native MimeType in name_of_the_application's desktop file.
Check your installation !"
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction
Marc
P.S. koscript and koshell seem to be working...
What should I do?
