2MacOS complications again!
3When compiling on Mojave, an issue with pkg-config was encountered, where it did not correctly determine the library linking information correctly for the supporting libraries in gnome-lib-minimal we provide. This is because we provide static libraries, but the 'pkg-config --libs ...' command assumes they are dynamic, and so doesn't need to be provide an exhaustive list of the libraries needed when linking, just the 'first layer'. The issue is addressed by running 'pkg-config --static --libs ...' command. To work this in, however, the configure.ac file needed to be updated with a new macro PKG_CHECK_MODULES_STATIC (and defined in the local m4 file). This has been done, and a fresh wv-1.2.4.tar.gz file generated as a result.

6After the changes to build gnome-lib as statically linked libraries, need to link wvware against BZIP2 as well, so had to add in -lbz2 in the GNUMakefile.in (and added it to GNUMakefile.am) in the list of WVLIBS. The lbz2 library must be listed in the correct position for compilation to work, which seems to be before lz (libz/ZLib).

11Justified text in Word docs converted to html were showing up left aligned. Thanks to Giorgi Varamishvili for telling us of this problem. Changed the wvware config files that map markup in input word docs to markup into output formats like html, txt and xml. In this case both html and xml were mapping justified ('block') text to left (aligned). Changed both to justify. and although we don't use

35Added wv-1.2.4-gs.tar.gz, a slightly modified version of wv-1.2.4.tar.gz (as downloaded from sourceforge) that only installs the stuff Greenstone needs. This is basically a drop-in replacement for wv-0.7.1-gs.tar.gz, although the new version has different library dependencies (now requires libgsf, no longer seems to use iconv).

39This directory contains a version of the wv program. It was originally
40written by Caolan McNamara and distributed under the GNU General Public
41License. wv is now maintained by Dom Lachowicz and Martin Vermeer. wv
42incorporates code from a variety of GPL programs from other sources.
43Thank you all.

45The wv homepage is http://wvware.sourceforge.net/

47We have included the source code here. It is a slimmed-down version
48of wv version 0.7.1. It should handle documents created with Word 2 up
49to Word 2000. We have tested it on Linux (slackware 7), darwin (OS X
5010.1.3), cygwin, and solaris 2.8 (via sourceforge's compile farm).
