Re: koffice-dev what should it contain
Sorry about the format of this post, I am at work and only got the web
archives and outlook to play with :-(
I think this reply misunderstands what I am doing. I HAVE downloaded the
source of koffice (not the debian source, but from the kde CVS), and I am
now trying to cut it back so that I am left with the minimal amount of
source, and maximum binary from previously downloaded .debs (from kde.org).
The question I am asking is what is in koffice-dev - with respect to the
koffice libraries that are distributed with the source. I deliberately cut
away koffice/libs directory and then tried to build kpresenter. Within the
source there is a line
#include <kozoomhandler.h>
which fails because there is no such file in /usr/include. However, since
in the source its in koffice/lib/kotext (A general looking sort of library)
- I sort of assumed that it was supposed to be in koffice-dev
I did try looking in koffice/debian/rules to see if I could figure how
koffice-dev was built - but I am not very knowledgable about how this works,
and this attempt defeated me. Hence asking here.
What your post doesn't quite explain is why would other programs NOT want to
utillise to kozoomhandler. I know I am doing something completely
unofficial - but I thought I would ask for two reasons
1) Just so I know
2) To question whether the package had actually been built correctly - ie
the lack of this library was a deliberate decision rather than an accident.
If I could get a clear statement, I'll just restore the missing
directory(ies) and proceed (I am using a local CVS to store my changes so I
should be able to revert them)

You will need the source-package for koffice to build the koffice apps
themselves. The -dev package is for other programs linking to koffice
libraries. Try 'apt-get source koffice' instead.
