Installing Scribus on Haiku

Thanks to the work of Giovanni Mugnai Scribus is also available for users of the Haiku operating system.

Installing Scribus on Haiku is easy: Download the Scribus ZIP archive and extract it to Haiku's /boot directory. The archive includes all dependencies and a copy of Ghostscript..

After extraction an icon/link to Scribus will be present on the Desktop, and you can launch Scribus:

Caveats

• Since CUPS hasn't been ported to Haiku yet, you can't print directly from Scribus. You can, however, export a PDF and print from BePDF or DocumentViewer.

• The Scripter doesn't work yet, because Python Tkinter is not available for Haiku.

• Hunspell still needs to be ported to Haiku, so spellchecking won't work..
