Abiword - where can I find the mathview plugin ?

Hello.

I've just installed Abiword and it's plugins package. But, and it's very annoying, one of the most useful plugin, the equation editor, isn't in Slitaz Repos !

I've tryed various methods in order to get the library for this plugin

1- pick and drop the "mathview.so" library from a i386 Ubuntu, don't work.

2- pick the DEB package from old Ubuntu (in order to use the 2.8 version), converted with taskpkg, don't work for m (but I've noticed that tazpkg claims for missing dependencies, but tazpkd dont show WHAT lacks !)

3- tryed to compile from source code ; I've got all headers files, but the "make" process hangs with a stupid basic "C/C++" vsnprintf () function that isn't recognized

Someone can help me ?

Thanks.

Re: Abiword - where can I find the mathview plugin ?

I took a quick look at this and found on the Abiword abisource.com page:

1. the Abiword Plugin Matrix has a database error.

2. they state that plugins are not shipped separately anymore but are shipped with the main Abiword installer available from their download page.

I know this doesn't help and maybe theres an issue with our Abiword 2.8.6 version and the current 3.0.2 version also making it tricky to do…?

Hello ! Thanks for your interest.

Yes, I saw the "database error" on Abiword's site also. But I've found indirectly various areas on their web site to get all versions of Abiword source code.

Here is the link : https://www.abisource.com/downloads/abiword/

And I've found very surprising files : prec-compiled (but for which target ?) binaries (*.so and *.la files) here : https://www.abisource.com/downloads/dependencies/gtkmathview/ Meanwhile, this ftp claims that files contains "source" ?!

Regards.
