Installation For End Users (Linux Only)
- Ensure you have a copy of AbiWord for RedHat 7.1 v. 0.9.4.1 installed, and a copy of Mozilla 0.9.5.
- Download the file libAbiWord.so here (Right click and do Save Link As).
- Copy that to /usr/lib/libAbiWord.so
- Download libWPPlugin.so (Right click and do Save Link As ).
- Copy that to (YOUR MOZILLA DIRECTORY)/plugins
- Export a variable ABISUITE_HOME by doing this in a terminal:
export ABISUITE_HOME=/usr/share/AbiSuiteYou should add this line to your .profile or .bashrc so that it happens automatically when you login.
- You will need to restart Mozilla to have the plugin registered.
- Open up this test page in Mozilla to see if it works.
Installation For Developers
From plugin.tar.gz
- Download plugin.tar.gz
From CVS
- Get the source code for the plugin. Follow directions on this page.
There are a few steps that you have to go through in order to help develop the plugin:
- Get the source of Abiword. You can get this at abisource.org
- Modify the Makefile in libabiword. Change "ABIBUILD= /usr/local/oe-abiword-devel" to "ABIBUILD= PATHTOSOURCE" where PATHTOSOURCE is obviously where the source code of Abiword is on your machine.
- cd to the libabiword directory type make and then make install. This creates libAbiWord.so and puts in in /usr/lib
- cd ../plugin
- Edit the Makefile: Change "MOZZY= /usr/lib/mozilla" to the path where Mozilla is installed.
- Change "MOZZYDEV = /usr/include/mozilla" to the path to your Mozilla header files.
- Type make and then make install. This creates libWPPlugin.so and moves it to MOZZY/plugins.
- cd MOZZY, delete your components.reg file and run ./regxpcom
- You're done!
