I ran configure and installed all the dependencies needed so that configure works OK but now when I run make I get bash: make: command not found Any ideas? thanks,j

Compiled OK (couple of warnings only) and ran fine on PCLOS as of pre .93 (minime). I've been using this for (a couple of years?) and it's fantastic. Great addition to the KDE desktop space. I had a version of gqview which ate wmf files at one point, but Imagemagick always works and OpenOffice.org yums them up too.

This little plugin works great and helped me out big time. :) Thanks for the awesome work.

Did not compile with KDE 3.4. It gave the following error: if /bin/sh ../libtool --silent --mode=compile --tag=CXX g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I/usr/kde/3.4/include -I/usr/qt/3/include -I. -DQT_THREAD_SUPPORT -D_REENTRANT -Wnon-virtual-dtor -Wno-long-long -Wundef -Wall -W -Wpointer-arith -Wwrite-strings -ansi -D_XOPEN_SOURCE=500 -D_BSD_SOURCE -Wcast-align -Wconversion -Wchar-subscripts -O2 -Wformat-security -Wmissing-format-attribute -fno-exceptions -fno-check-new -fno-common -I/usr/include/freetype2 -I/usr/X11R6/include -I/usr/include -MT wmfthumbcreator.lo -MD -MP -MF ".deps/wmfthumbcreator.Tpo" \ -c -o wmfthumbcreator.lo `test -f 'wmfthumbcreator.cpp' || echo './'`wmfthumbcreator.cpp; \ then mv -f ".deps/wmfthumbcreator.Tpo" ".deps/wmfthumbcreator.Plo"; \ else rm -f ".deps/wmfthumbcreator.Tpo"; exit 1; \ fi wmfthumbcreator.cpp: In member function `virtual bool WMFThumbCreator::create(const QString&, int, int, QImage&)': wmfthumbcreator.cpp:111: error: `ceil' undeclared (first use this function) wmfthumbcreator.cpp:111: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in.) wmfthumbcreator.cpp: At global scope: wmfthumbcreator.cpp:143: warning: unused parameter 'context' wmfthumbcreator.cpp:64: warning: unused parameter 'width' wmfthumbcreator.cpp:64: warning: unused parameter 'height' make[2]: *** [wmfthumbcreator.lo] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/tmp/wmfthumbnail-0.2/src' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/wmfthumbnail-0.2' make: *** [all] Error 2

I compiled and linked the wmf-thumbnail-plugin, the build went fine for me, except there are no thumbnails for any of the .wmf files I have. Here are the files that were installed: /opt/kde3/lib/kde3/wmfthumbnail.la /opt/kde3/lib/kde3/wmfthumbnail.so /opt/kde3/share/services/wmfthumbnail.desktop Any ideas what could be wrong? Wolfgang

Hi, for me it seems some of the compiling problems lay in the framework around the wmfthumbnail. I'll check this weekend if I can modify the sources to cope with this problems. But it compiles without errors on a standard SuSE 9.0 with the latest KDE-RPMS installed. Metta Heiko

Hi, I have been able to compile and install wmfthumbnail on Mandrake 10 (Official), but it will not show thumbnails. Initially, it did not recognize that libGL.la was not where expected. At first I tried just putting a link in the appropriate place (/usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.la) and tath seemed to work, except that I had no thumbs. Then I tried to copy it to the same location, with the same result. All I got back from make was a warning: libtool: link: warning: `/usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.la' seems to be moved libtool: link: warning: `/usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.la' seems to be moved libtool: link: warning: `/usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.la' seems to be moved libtool: link: warning: `/usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.la' seems to be moved libtool: link: warning: `/usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.la' seems to be moved libtool: link: warning: `/usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.la' seems to be moved My original libGL.la is located in /usr/lib/ As I have a huge library of wmf's (thousands, in fact), I would appreciate any and all pointers. Thanks ever so much, mrBiggles

I was appreciating and using your plugin on SuSE9.0 with kde 3.2. I even put together a service menu because the wmf plugin made these files useful. Unfortunately your plugin (and my service menu) seem to no longer work with kde3.3. I tried a fresh compile of your sourcecode but recieved the following error "In file included from /usr/include/libwmf/types.h:35, from /usr/include/libwmf/api.h:25, from wmfthumbcreator.h:24, from wmfthumbnail.cpp:21: /usr/include/freetype2/freetype/freetype.h:20:2: #error "`ft2build.h' hasn't bee n included yet!" /usr/include/freetype2/freetype/freetype.h:21:2: #error "Please always use macro s to include FreeType header files." /usr/include/freetype2/freetype/freetype.h:22:2: #error "Example:" /usr/include/freetype2/freetype/freetype.h:23:2: #error " #include " /usr/include/freetype2/freetype/freetype.h:24:2: #error " #include FT_FREETYPE_ H" make[2]: *** [wmfthumbnail.lo] Error 1" Apparently a problem w/ freetype2 but since I'm really not a programmer I'm not sure how to get around this error. I do have freetype2 (2.1.7-11) and freetype2-devel (2.1.7-11) installed. Has anyone else noticed this problem? is there a solution? Thanks, hope to be enjoying your plugin again in the near future.

I took out a registration just so I could make this post praising the thing. It works exactly as advertised and provides a much-needed plug-in to the KDE desktop for people. I install it for everyone, even though it means a separate compile just to have it usually. This should be included in KDE base -- even with the upside-down-thing problem (as noted by the author). I hope that you can work with the developers of the lib to resolve that little bug, but it won't stop me spreading it around! :-)

Great idea, thanks! Cannot say anything about the code quality yet (have not looked). But its one of the things that held me off from buying a wmf library in a store. Kind regards, Stefan
