Just got the latest Kingsoft Office .deb file and it is working great! One small download issue: 1: I tried to save the .deb file 3 times and the download failed, however when I let petget install it, I was able to retrieve the .deb file from my /tmp folder (make sure you copy it out of there before you acknowledge the completion of the installation,otherwise it gets automatically deleted) Download the .deb file here:http://wps-community.org/download.html So far its working really great on my system. Attached is a screenshot of it running in Precise 5.6. [/img]

Hello, TLM! Many thanks for this info. You are really on the button: the date of these *.deb and *.rpm files is today! So far all 3 modules (writer, spreadsheets and presentation) are running really great as well on my upupRaring-3.992. First impression: woooh! How far this is from abiword, isn't ? 
If interested, tell me, I can make your package available on limelinks.com as a Kingsoft sfs file (178 Mb), so it won't eat up any space in the Puppy personal save (pupsave) file. As well, since an sfs add-on is perfectly adapted to PuppyLinux, it will solve the installation problem you reported initially. BFN. (And Happy New Year!) musher0 _________________ musher0 ~~~~~~~~~~ "You want it darker? We kill the flame." (L. Cohen) |

@musher0 sfs file sounds like a good idea |

Here you go, people. I uploaded the file at FileDropper, actually. limelinx.com seem to be down at present. So, you can download the file < KingsoftOffice-9.1.0.4244~a12p3_i386.sfs > from: http://www.filedropper.com/kingsoftoffice-9104244a12p3i386 Enjoy! musher0 _________________ musher0 ~~~~~~~~~~ "You want it darker?

PS to the above: as I understand it, FileDropper keeps files for 7 days on a free account. So if someone knows of a more permanent file storage, please let me know. Thanks in advance. musher0 _________________ musher0 ~~~~~~~~~~ "You want it darker? We kill the flame." (L. Cohen) |

Yet another proprietary Linux app that uses unnecessarily new versions of glibc and libstdc++. (Chrome and many others do too) It would be a lot smaller if the 100+Mb of fonts were separate or the standard open source libs were separated. _________________ Check out my github repositories.

i'm hosting musher0's Kingston Office sfs and a pet made from it. (i also have the previous versions if anyone's interested. they work in Precise 5.5-5.7 and they're just as large). KingsoftOffice-9.1.0.4244~a12p3_i386.pet 202MB KingsoftOffice-9.1.0.4244~a12p3_i386.sfs 178MB |

Hello, technosaurus. Hm... interesting remark. I see approx. 30 Mb's of Qt 4.7.4 in the main folder and 162 Mb's of TTF fonts in /usr/share/fonts/wps-office. Ouch, that's 192 Mb's out of 472 (approx. 40 %). I wonder if we can separate those Qt libs and fonts, or it they are etched into their executables. Then again, OpenOffice | LibreOffice editions provide their own fonts and libs. Is it fair to hold that against KingSoft? Sorry for the newbie question, but if one uses Qt, does one use glibc, etc. as well? What filenames are we looking for? If we can produce a smaller Puppy sfs for this package, all users will benefit. Best regards. musher0 _________________ musher0 ~~~~~~~~~~ "You want it darker? We kill the flame." (L. Cohen) |

@technosaurus and all. There are also 43 Mb's of templates in Mandarin, which obviously a Westerner would have no use for, since templates for en_US are also provided. So we'd have a "slim Western" package of KingSoftOffice 9.1.0 about half the original "weight" in Mb's. We'd have to use a separate sfs or pet for Qt-4.7.4 or higher, of course (+/- 28 Mb's), but still, overall, that's a sizeable difference for distributing a package. I already removed the Chinese fonts, and all entities work. I'll test some more without the above-mentioned components and see if it works.

cool.
regarding qt, on my installations, it seems it can break itself (and the some of the things dependent on it ) if it's installed when it or a version or itself is already installed. this is just an observation; i don't have the computer savvy to know what it means, just think that maybe keeping it separate's a pretty good idea for this type of reason. is that what you meant by the "of course," or is there something abnormal going on with my systems when i experience that type of problem? (fwiw, audio/studio programs seem most afflicted by this...). do the versions of qt overwrite themselves or pile up? hope that's not too off topic. |

C++ mangles template (funcion) names when compiled, so sometime this makes versions or even different compiles of the same version incompatible libstdc++ does depend on glibc but its unlikely to need a version greater than 2.6 - building against newer versions unnecessarily precludes its utility in older linux distros (redhat enterprize, many pups and other LTS versions) ... but to answer the main question just use ldd <binary/library> Just because mozilla, open/libre office, chrome, webkit and other large projects use a crappy build process, doesn't make it better. Sometimes it is because they make incompatible changes to the original, but usually it is just to minimize dll-hell for "regular users" Ideally each language, font, template, clipart collection or whatever should be an optional addon that can be added/removed in a "custom intall". Debian enforces this fairly strictly _________________ Check out my github repositories. I may eventually get around to updating my blogspot. |

Hi, Puppus. I don't think so. It's about ways to make a better sfs for the package in the title. I have done a couple of tests, and it would seem that the Qt 4.7.4 libraries provided with KingSoftOffice need to stay where they are. If I strip down the package and load Qt 4.8 sfs in parallel, the KingSoftOffice executables do not load, and I get "symbol x missing" messages and the like. Maybe it's just me (likely), or this Puppy (unlikely), or this machine (pardon me, old girl). An expert (technosaurus ?)  would have to confirm this. I do not have the expertise
to detect if the KingSoft people have edited the Qt 4.7.4 libs for their suite of programs. Anyway, at this point I have an 80 Mb sfs running ok, just by removing the Chinese fonts and templates. (No offense intended to any Chinese person, I simply never use those fonts and templates.) BFN. musher0 _________________ musher0 ~~~~~~~~~~ "You want it darker? We kill the flame." (L. Cohen) |
