1 INSTALLING catdoc 0.91.x
3 Starting with patchlevel alpha 3 catdoc version 0.90 have autoconf
4 configuration. Thanks for Stephen Farell to convince me.
6 So typically you should run
11 to compile and install catdoc.
13 NOTE for HPUX users. If you want to compile catdoc with aCC,
14 use CC="aCC -Ae" ./configure
16 Configure script for catdoc recognizes following options (apart from
17 standard --prefix, --exec-prefix and so on)
19 --disable-wordview - disables building of Tcl/Tk viewer wordview,
20 which requires X11. (note, it would be disabled automatically,
21 if you don't have appropriate version of Tcl/Tk). You may
22 wish to use this if you don't have X installed.
24 --with-wish=path - specifies path to wish interpreter. This option have
26 1. If executable named wish, found in your PATH is old, and
27 you have newer wish installed as wish4.2 or wish8.0,
28 you should specify this in order to build wordview viewer
29 2. If you are compiling catdoc from telnet connection or
30 text console, you can specify this option to skip tcl
31 version check, which would run wish and fail if it couldn't
32 find X display (which would lead configure to assume, that
33 you don't have good wish)
37 Allows you to specify charset names to expect in 8-bit word
38 file and to produce as output text file. Do ls ./charsets/*.txt
39 to find out which charsets are provided in distribution.
40 Additional charsets can be obtained from
42 Note that make would fail if you specify charset, which
43 doesn't exist in charset directory.
45 --disable-charset-check
46 By default, make in charsets directory fails, if it is unable
47 to find *.txt files corresponding to default input and output
48 charsets. This option allows you to disable this check. Make
49 in charsets directory would always succeed, but it is your
50 responsibility to provide charset files in catdoc library
51 directory after make install.
53 By default, catdoc tries to use your current locale charset
54 as its output charset. It can be, of cource always overriden
55 by command line switch. But charset from the locale takes
56 precedence over charset in configuration file, unless
57 you put use_locale=no into this file.
59 If your C library is not XPG4-compatible, and configure fails
60 to detect it, you can completely disable langinfo support
63 If you experience strange and unexpected behavoir of catdoc, try to
64 remove optimization flag (-02) from FLAGS in src/Makefile.
65 If you can write autoconf test to check for this problem, please send it
68 It was known problem with version 0.35 on HP/UX 9, and I scarcely changed
69 my style of writing since.
