[jazzplusplus-devel] New web build instructions and a better Linux install

[Pete S. <pst...@gm...>]

Don and Kevin,

After I posted the new build instructions, I attempted to test them by 
actually trying them.  wxWidgets and tex2rtf went off without a hitch. 
Jazz++ was another matter on Linux.

After I installed Jazz++ as root under /usr/local/Jazz++, the fun began, 
but I think I've worked through most of the issues.  Please attempt this 
to help me test.  When you do, make sure you erase the .Jazz++ 
configuration file that is in your home directory.  The first time you 
run the code, a directory with the same name should be created, and 
configuration files will be copied to this directory.

I also need to create a Jazz++ samples directory for the user during the 
first run of the code, but I haven't got around to that.  I also need to 
make a Windows installer.

Maybe someday I'll actually get to work on the inner workings of Jazz++ ;-)

Pete

I'm just checking through this on both my own system & the Deb

4.0r5 amd64 unit.......





In section 8. of the wxwidgets build instructions, we do ;



wx-config --list





If one didn't remove added path/ldpath from existing .bash_profile

(from previous jazz instructs) it'll work correctly, however first time 

builders will find this command will only return the status of the existing 

(system) wxwidgets installation, because our custom wx path/ldpath

have not, at this stage, been added to user's .bash_profile



Thus, section 8. should appear -after- section 9. once these variables

have been set?





Regards,



Don

I just switched them.

Thanks,

...great, otherwise the build instructions (and code changes) seem fine,
with the possible caveat that the jazz binary still fails to locate the jazz.hhp
file, which is installed to /usr/local/Jazz++/bin/HelpFiles
(should this be /usr/local/Jazz++/share/Jazz++/HelpFiles ??)....

Tested on mine, my housemate's Deb 4.0r3 i386 and the Deb 4.0r5 amd64
machines -- consistent in all 3 cases.

Regards,

Don

This worked for me on my Mandriva box with a fresh install.  How did you 
start Jazz++?

I'll look into changing this, but I'm still curious as to why it worked 
for me, but not you.

Kevin, since you have Linux packaging experience, where are help files 
typically installed?

TIA,
Pete
