Hi guys, yes there are developers on the list. I didn't know there were still issues with the Solaris build. There's a new release of wv just uploaded to SourceForge. Hopefully this one will work better than the last, but please let me know. If configure does fail, you may like to try the new build system, but that's your call. Numerous bug fixes in this release, but I don't know what they are, sorry. Credit to dom & Robert Wilhelm. Regards, Frank Francis James Franklin F.J...@sh... It's getting them wrong that is living, getting them wrong and wrong and wrong and then, on careful reconsideration, getting them wrong again. That's how we know we're alive: we're wrong. --- Philip Roth |

If configure > does fail, you may like to try the new build system, but that's your call. just downloaded 0.7.1, applied the patch, still not working - configures and installs just fine (except, see note and question below) - tried to run, and got this: # wvHtml fcc.doc fcc.html Diagnostic: (text.c:915) Diagnostic: (text.c:865) Bus Error --- note and question re. requirements: - I'm installing on a remote Solaris box, primarily telnet access, so my main interest is reading the text in word documents that come in via email (e.g. via pine) - the download web site says that "All that is required is the source" and goes on to suggest installing zlib, png and ImageMagick -- I have zlib and png installed, but ImageMagick doesn't want to build, and since I'm not interested in graphics, I haven't tried to debug this yet - the INSTALL file says to install zlib,libwmf,freetype, png and ImageMagick - but I haven't yet installed libwmf or freetype when I configure, I get the message: configure: warning: libwv will not have wmf to png support: see README Might this be related to the problem I'm encountering?

I've managed to build and install the new version of wvware, this time linked against gnu iconv. That seems to fix the buss error I was getting in text.c. But now, new things happen: i. when I tried to link against libpng and libiconv in non-standard locations (using the configure options to set the paths) - things didn't work in lots of ways ii. I then installed libpng and libiconv in their standard locations, and the make failed midway through - some of the linkages didn't seem to work iii. I then did a configure --with-png=/usr/local/ --with-libiconv=/usr/local/ - i.e. pointing to the standard locations - and things built Now, some things work, some don't. i. logged in as root: # wvWare fcc.doc >fcc.html Diagnostic: (wvWare.c:1542) Diagnostic: (wvWare.c:1223) Diagnostic: (field.c:338) Diagnostic: (sprm.c:1515) Diagnostic: (sprm.c:1515) Segmentation fault creates fcc.html - and a lot of it is there, but... failed at a point where the document contained some tables ii. logged in as a normal user: # wvWare fcc.doc >fcc.html ld.so.1: wvWare: fatal: libpng.so.3: open failed: No such file or directory Killed Exit 137 Suggestions?

What version of libiconv did your use. I tried 1.7 with wv 0.6.7 and it didn't make any difference.

I hope it's not too much of a faux-pas to post this on the list, but to help out Miles and other people who only want to extract text... Check out antiword 0.32 at <http://antiword.cjb.net/>, it works quite well. Within 5 minutes I'm up and running on Solaris from the standard "Programmers' version" and skipping over graphics just fine!

Have you checked xpdf? I was looking at it and xlHtml just the other day and one of them said it now worked from stdin, not sure which one.
