Conspicuous is the 'shouldnotlink' directives.
In 0.2.3
that directive is no and in 0.4.2 the directive is yes.
I'm just guessing here. I changed the 0.4.2 directive to no
and tried to build.
FTBFS.
Another noticeable difference is the 0.4.2 la file
does not
contain a header statement about being a libtool library
file. that missing header statement would correlate with the
build error message that the file is not valid.
I copied this header statement from 0.2.3 to 0.4.2:
# libwv2.la - a libtool library file
# Generated by ltmain.sh - GNU libtool 1.5.18 (1.1220.2.245 2005/05/16 08:55:27)
koffice built. File size is slightly larger, which probably is correct. I haven't yet
tested the MS Word import features, but for the moment I'll presume the package
compiled correctly.
I'll take a wild guess only the first line in that header statement is necessary.
wv2-0.4.2 was not introduced into Slackware until release 13.1. The problems I am
experiencing with the package would not be discovered in that release because KDE 4 is
included and not 3.5. Hence, the build bug with the missing header statement is unlikely
to surface with that release.
As wv2-0.4.2 is built with cmake, I don't know how the libwv2.la file gets created
during the build process. I could rebuild that package and try to learn.
Questions:
Am I correct Debian does not include a libwv2.la file in its package?
Should I try to build koffice without that la file installed?
