[jazzplusplus-devel] tex2rtf build instructions done...but...

[D.B. M. <db...@ho...>]

Greetings,

I've finished the above topic, however before I post the patch
it's ...question time...

I don't really want to include the details of getting/building
tex2rtf from svn, or how to build it from a *full* svn checkout
of the Jazz++ svn source. My reasoning is;

1. tex2rtf doesn't rely on the custom wxWidgets build
2. tex2rtf in the Jazz++ svn is currently 'stable' and not changing.
3. tex2rtf is a FINE utility everyone should install anyway  ;-)

Of course, you know me....I've got no objections to actually
writing out the svn based instructions to tex2rtf, and how
to build / install it in parallel with the Jazz++ svn tree...however
the current tex2rtf doesn't need be 'isolated' from the system
makeup like custom-wx & Jazz++ parts do....ostensibly it can go
straight into /usr/bin and not cause any problems AFAICT.

I'm just trying to make things easy and uncomplicated for that
userbase out there - tex2rtf build/install is a doddle compared 
to a Jazz++ svn build of tex2rtf. However, the 'simple' build
of tex2rtf really requires a tex2rtf source tarball being
available to  avoid 2 svn checkouts, or a complete Jazz++ svn 
checkout, and a whole lot of explaining....

Let me know what the consensus is here please, and the
patch will surely follow....


Regards,

Donald B.

I'm sorry I mislead you in an earlier post, but it does.  The version 
currently in the wxWidgets' Subversion repository doesn't...

A. wxWidgets Subversion tex2rtf - can build against a stock version of 
the wxWidgets 2.8.7 build; *cannot* build against an STL enabled of the 
wxWidgets build like the one used with Jazz++.

B. Jazz++ Subversion tex2rtf - can build against an STL enabled of the 
wxWidgets build like the one used with Jazz++; *cannot* build against a 
stock version of the wxWidgets 2.8.7 build.

Either version can be used to process our jazz.tex file.

Let me work on that...

I just wanted to explain that the version in our subversion does require 
wxWidgets to be built using our STL enabled build.

Ahh!....I see, no problem...

Yep, no problems, no harm done....I think we both 
understand how I ended posting this query..

I'll rework the wording appropriately, and delay
posting until you work out the little wrinkle...
