Re: Gnumeric export format xhtml

[Renaud Saliou <rsf cyberion net>]

Hello,

I can't compile cvs version of gnumeric. I use a debian system (sid 
version). I made a debian package to install properly libgsf because 
there is not yet this package because no version of libgsf was released. 
Like the debian package gal is in version 0.3 and the request is >=0.5, 
i start to compile from cvs too, but it request gnomeConf.sh that it not 
present on my system. I search on http://packages.debian.org, if a 
package own this file and i found libgnome-dev 1.4.1.7-2. But if i 
install the package it want to desinstall libgnome2-dev
So i checkout from cvs repository gnome-libs and when i compile it and 
obtain that message:
configure: error:
***                    ***** IMPORTANT *****
***
*** This is a development version of gnome-libs.  You should be using a 
stable
*** version, which is available at 
ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/gnome-libs/
*** The version you just configured is meant for developers of 
gnome-libs only:
***
***   * You should not base ANY software on this version of gnome-libs.
***
*** If you are using this source tree from CVS, please run:
***     cvs update -r gnome-libs-1-0
*** now.
I launch the command and after that i have compiled error in libgnome 
which i suppose normal if it download source from gnome1.

May i miss a point somewhere ? Can you give me advice to have a clean 
development environment for gnome ?

I take 2 days of holiday, so i will return monday.

Thanks.
