[OpenJade-devel] OpenJade Release 1.3.2 - Release Candidate

[Ian C. <ian...@op...>]

I've put up openjade-1.3.2-rc1.tar.gz on the sourceforge download page.

This version:

1) Builds and runs on my machine (RedHat 7.3 i386 with autoconf 2.53).

2) Compiles against and links to the latest OpenSP (1.5pre8 or later).

3) Has a few fixes for the MIF backend which I missed out from 1.3.1

The idea is that you can now have the latest opensp 1.5 and stable
openjade 1.3 nicely co-existing on your machines.

It needs testing on a few different platforms. It would be especially
nice if people from the various distributions that include openjade were
to give it a try out...

It is a bit clunky as I've tried to minimise the amount of changes that
I have made - so it is still using the old 1.3 ./configure - there is a
risk (especially on platforms significantly different to mine) that
feature tests might yield different results between the opensp and
openjade - with correspondingly strange results when you try to
build/link.... Otherwise, I'm not anticipating too many problems.

What you get: openjade executable and libogrove, libospgrove and
libostyle libraries. Everything else should be in the opensp package.

There are two new ./configure options

--enable-spincludedir=<path to OpenSP include directory>
--enable-splibdir=<path to directory which contains the OpenSP libosp
library>

If you don't set these then they default to /usr/include/OpenSP and
/usr/lib respectively. These are where I have the things installed on my
system.... so they seem like reasonable defaults to me.

I've tested on a few documents and everything seems OK.

I've also bumped the version numbers of the dynamic libraries, just in
case.

Have fun!

PS. Windows? What's Windows? As far as I'm concerned they are things
that I can look out of and see that it is dark and way past my bedtime. 

Really, getting it working on Windows should be a question of hacking
the makefiles to make sure that 1) The Opensp library and executables
aren't built 2) the opensp 1.5 include files get included *after*
../include. But then again, I've not heard that anyone has built opensp
1.5pre8 on Windows.
