Abiword status ?

[Gge]

Dear all,

I just downloaded Abiword 2.0.3 ( abiword-setup-2-0-3.exe) as I wish to 
try to install it on Reactos in real hardware.
I have not seen any pending issue in Bugzilla so sounds like it should work.
But before to start , I 'd like to have feed back about possible 
problem/workaround ...

Thanks
Gerard

I have tried to install abiword from cd using ros 0.2.pr1 .
The installer starts and comes to grief at the licence window (error message attached).

I have installed win32pad with it's own installer in ros from the reactos directory, and it installs, it puts an icon on the desktop and there is an entry in the ' start ' '  program ' slot.

But the programme does not run, but it will not run from the windows directory also.

I don' t know if you will have success with the full release of ros 0.2.1.

Regards,
jh

Thanks Jh,

I am using Ros 0.2.1 from CVS dated 29022004 (fresh build from today)
When I run  "abiword-setup-2-0-3.exe " from CMD window  , a message box 
is diplayed "Verifying installer 9%"
After 1 hour , still this same messagebox "9%" .

Then AbiWord never even started.  Do other NSIS v2 based
installers work?  The AbiWord installer uses several NSIS
plugins, such as to check internet connection, etc. and
has been reported to fail on Windows 95 without IE.

If you want to test AbiWord, try running just the executable,
http://abiword.pchasm.org/builds/nightly/win32/AbiWord.exe
or for latest Stable build
http://abiword.pchasm.org/builds/nightly/win32/ABI-2-0-0-STABLE/VC6SP5/AbiWo...

If it makes it easier and you want the extra files (help, etc)
I can probably add a zip install method for AbiWord.

As for the timer issue, for testing purposes, a simple fix
of ignoring the timer callback if abi's timer object is disabled
may suffice for a more graceful failure.  I will see about
adding a zip build of AbiWord with a timer workaround tommorrow
to http://abiword.pchasm.org/builds/periodic/ if anyone with
ROS installed wants to try it.

(I generally provide the Win32 builds of AbiWord)

Yes, other NSIS v2 based installers work and even the AbiWord one worked 
before. I'm not sure if it works now or not.

Attached is a patch for my modified AbiWord version that has this check 
and one more HACK on other place. With this patch I was able to load 
AbiWord on ReactOS...

Hi all!

I've sent an AbiWord status report some time ago and still some problems 
aren't solved. The current showstopper is that KillTimer in win32k 
doesn't really kill the timer that AbiWord registers and AbiWord isn't 
able to handle this situation (obviously).

Regards,
Filip.

Precicely what happends? Even if the timer is killed a timer message is
sent to the app? I'm giving the timer impl. a good cleanup right now, so
i could look into this is you gave some details.

Installing abiword-setup-2.0.3.exe works for me (i tested only with the
required components). It crashes during load thou, probably due to a
missing mscvrt export __CxxLongjmpUnwind, imported by
libAbi_IEG_Win32Native.dll

You can try to use msvcrt.dll from Windows (available on the NET also), 
but libAbi_IEG_Win32Native.dll
is a plugin and failure of loading it shouldn't cause any problems.

I haven't looked at the problem in detail, but what I noticed is that 
even after calling KillTimer, the
messages were sent to the application.
