GLib-2.10.3, libxml2-2.6.26, and XML::Parser-2.34
GConf-2.14.0 (required to build the gsf-office-thumbnailer program), GNOME Virtual File System-2.14.2 (required to build the libgsf-gnome-1.so library which provides GNOME-2 support), and GTK-Doc-1.6
Note: you need to build the libgsf-gnome-1.so library if you plan on building Gnumeric-1.6.3 with GNOME support.
User Notes: http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/wiki/libgsf
Install libgsf by running the following commands:
./configure --prefix=/usr && make
Running make check will build a battery of test programs which are built using the just-created libgsf-1 library. All the programs should build successfully with no errors displayed.
Now, as the root user:
make install
--sysconfdir=/etc/gnome/2.14.3: Pass this parameter to the configure script if you have GNOME-2 installed so that the GConf schema files are installed in the correct location.
--enable-gtk-doc: Use this parameter if GTK-Doc is installed and you wish to rebuild the API documentation.
