as the Gnumeric package in the Macports repository does apparently not include the Python plugin (as well as a lot of others), I would like to compile Gnumeric from source myself. Such that it is linked against the libraries already in the /opt/local tree and that it is also installed there,
of course.
What options must I pass to configure, make and install to achieve this?
Such as e.g. --prefix=/opt/local or whatnot?
--prefix=/opt/local isnt enough: extracted from the output of ./configure --prefix=/opt/local: *snip* checking for GTK... yes checking for GNOME... checking for GNUMERIC... configure: error: Package requirements ( glib-2.0 >= 2.6.0 gobject-2.0 >= 2.6.0 gmodule-2.0 >= 2.6.0 libgsf-1 >= 1.13.2 libgoffice-1 >= 0.2.1 libgoffice-1 < 0.3.0 libxml-2.0 >= 2.4.12 pango >= 1.8.1 pangoft2 >= 1.8.1 gtk+-2.0 >= 2.6.0 libglade-2.0 >= 2.3.6 libgnomeprint-2.2 >= 2.8.2 libgnomeprintui-2.2 >= 2.8.2 libart-2.0 >= 2.3.11 ) were not met: Requested 'libgsf-1 >= 1.13.2' but version of libgsf-1 is 1.10.1 No package 'libgoffice-1' found No package 'libgoffice-1' found Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you installed software in a non-standard prefix. Alternatively, you may set the environment variables GNUMERIC_CFLAGS and GNUMERIC_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config. See the pkg-config man page for more details. It _does_ find GTK, but _not_ the rest, although all dependencies _are_ installed. All in the same tree. :-( And the error message about libgsf is _wrong_, libgsf in Macports is version 1.14.0. A package named "libgoffice" doesn't exist. A package named goffice with version 0.2.1 does exist and it _is_ installed. Sincerely, Wolfgang Keller -- My email-address is correct.
