Report
(11 Jun 2007) Hello! Here's my report for this week: - I checked out 1.3.5 - Finally got it to compile (some problems with qt4) - Integrated my latexframe code - Wrote all functions that are required to compile without linker errors - Checked the QT docs for differences between QT3 and 4. (I didn't work with 4 before) - Took me quite some time to find out that the build error in [ 98%] Building CXX object scribus/plugins/svgexplugin/CMakeFiles/svgexplugin.dir/svgexplugin.o is not related to my changes but was a faulty version in svn. - Still having some problems with the buildprocess: a) is it normal that a full build takes more than one hour or is my machine just too slow? b) I can't currently install my build: CMake Error: Error in cmake code at /home/r2d2/build/Scribus/builddir/scribus/cmake_install.cmake:41: FILE INSTALL cannot find file "/home/r2d2/build/Scribus/scribus/edit1format.h" to install. Current CMake stack: /home/r2d2/build/Scribus/builddir/scribus/cmake_install.cmake however I think this is a problem with the "svn up" run after running cmake. I have to read some cmake docs tomorrow and hope that I don't have to rebuild the whole thing again. Regards, Hermann

Plan
Write a version that runs latex with a hardcoded sample file.
