GOffice-0.2.1

Introduction to GOffice

The GOffice package contains a library of GLib/GTK document centric objects and utilities. This is useful for performing common operations for document centric applications that are conceptually simple, but complex to implement fully. Some of the operations provided by the GOffice library include support for plugins, load/save routines for application documents and undo/redo functions.

Package Information

GOffice Dependencies

Required

libgsf-1.14.1 and Pango-1.12.3

Recommended (for the User Interface functionality)

Note: not installing the recommended dependencies can render the GOffice package incapable of supporting applications which depend on it. If, for whatever reason, you elect not to install the recommended dependencies, you must add the --without-gtk parameter to the configure command in the instructions below.

Optional

cairo-1.2.4 (already installed if you installed the recommended dependencies) and libgnomeui-2.14.1 (with libgsf built to support GNOME by creating the libgsf-gnome-1 library)
