Hello,

I would like to have Gnumeric in a dsl-package. I'm trying to build it, but without any success because of lib problems. I tried to compile on another system, but some of the libraries there were different compared to DSL. I think the only way to build Gnumeric is to build every dependency of it on DSL from scratch. That's a tough job. Any suggestions are welcome. It would be great to have a 'reference system' similar to DSL but including dev files.
Installing .deb files with lib dependencies did not seem to work since apt-get wants to install a newer version of libc6, which is - as far as I know - is no option when building a .dsl package for a liveCD.

The reasons why I try to build it are (1) to be able to open excel files, (2) visual attractiveness of GTK2 and (3) it's Gnome dependencies might have decreased resulting in a smaller build (gnumeric 1.4.3):

libgnome >= 2.0.0 optional
libgnomeui >= 2.0.0 optional
libbonobo >= 2.2.0 optional
libbonoboui >= 2.2.0 optional
python >= 2.0 optional
pygtk >= 1.99.10 optional
gda >= 1.0.1 optional
libgnomedb >= 1.0.1 optional

Any suggestions are welcome. Bye!

This is just a suggestion, so take it with a grain of salt.

Since DSL is based on Knoppix 3.4, what you can do is have Knoppix 3.4 hd-installed and then apt-get the gtk2 libraries and dependencies. Once you made the extension (uci or otherwise), you will have to test it on the DSL iso together with the gtk2.dsl extension that ke4nt1 made.

Another way would be to compile the gtk libraries using the Knoppix 3.4, with the /opt/gnumeric path as target for installation. Then compile the gnumeric package and install it to the same path. Then create a shell wrapper that will set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH to point to /opt/gnumeric/lib (where the gtk libraries was installed).
