I've been trying to get gnumeric 'long' out of the 'experimental' state for some time now,
and have come quite far. To make this round I still need help with some peripheral points,
see the result of my configuration log attached at the bottom of this post.
TIA for any help!!
- Introspection - I don't know this and can't handle it, with 'double' builds all 5 tests t-300x hold,
with long t3000, t3001 and t3004 fail, logs also copied below. I need tips on what this can be,
or how introspection is normally / manually used and how I can narrow down the fails.
-
GDA support - libgda is criticized already by 'double' builds in the configuration - see attached - as '
libgda problem',
I tried to install it with apt-get:
└─# apt-get install libgda-5.0-dev
-> libgda-5.0-dev is already the newest version (5.2.10-2).
└─# apt-get install libgda-6.0-dev
-> E: Unable to locate package libgda-6.0-dev
and manually acc. 'linuxfromscratch', two issues:
-- gnumeric requires version 6.0 ( shows up somewhere in the logs ), this is only supported
by a
few distributions, see <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libgda/-/issues/256> and
<https://repology.org/project/libgda/versions>.
-- manual installation and build fail because the README says: 'Please note that if you use the Git
repository the
INSTALL file doesn't exist before you run the
autogen.sh script. alas I can't find an
autogen.sh in the repo ... :-( Who has a working installation or can give hints how I could get to one.
- GNOME-DB support - is about the same? if not please tell me what I have to do to activate it.
- Psiconv support - what is it and what do I need to do to get rid of 'missing dependencies'?
- PDF documentattion - how do I 'request' this, DBLatex had some installation difficulties.
