There were significant differences between the two
APIs
that forced the
following changes in SVN:
r1082110
r1082138
r1082651
As I think I mentioned before the build failure is most
likely due to the
missing .la file from the newer version of wv2. If
you really want to use
the older version, you will need to reverse the previous
three patches
(which could be done automatically) before koffice will
build. What I
would do is copy the koffice source, reverse patch the
copy, then run a
diff between the original and the copy. You can then
automatically apply
that single diff file to the source prior to build as part
of your build
script. Other distros have had to do similar hacks
over time as the
official KDE sources migrated to new versions of system
libraries; this
situation is quite similar.
Thanks for the info. I'll work on both. I think a build for 12.2 should support the
stock installation. I can provide users a warning. Thus, I'll try building with 0.4.3
too. I can modify the build script to detect which version is installed and then apply the
patch as necessary. Then users can choose which version they want to build or download.
I only wish the failure occurred sooner in the process. The failure does not occur until
an hour and a half into the build, probably close to the end of the process. There is no
way to expedite the process so this might take day or two. :(
