Installing FlexCel Reports in Kylix.

For this document, I assume you have a good undestanding on how to install a package and how to use Flexcel...

The packages to install in Kylix begin with a "K". For DELPHI, you have to install KFlexCelReport, KFlexCelXlsAdapter and KFlexCelDesign.For C, you have to install KCFlexCelReport, KCFlexCelXlsAdapter and KCFlexCelDesign. THE C PACKAGES ARE NOT INSTALLING RIGHT NOW, BUT THEY COMPILE. THERE IS A PATH PROBLEM OR SOMETHING. YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN HERE...

To be able to generate reports, you also need libgsf (and its dependences, libglib2 and libxml)
I downloaded libgsf (v1.2) at ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/unstable/sources/libgsf/ you can search the web for it, anyway. Of course, get the latest version that works...

If you don't want to use libgsf, there is also a port of libole2, but it doesn't work ok with workbooks with many storages. If you KNOW what you are doing, you can replace KGsfStream for KOle2Stream in the source code.


And that's all. Have fun...
