### Gnumeric Dependencies

#### Required

GOffice-0.10.60 and itstool-2.0.7

#### Recommended Runtime

An icon theme such as adwaita-icon-theme-50.0, oxygen-icons-6.1.0, or gnome-icon-theme-3.12.0, a graphical environment, and Yelp-49.0 for the built-in help functionality

#### Optional

DConf-0.49.0 (to prevent some test failures), GLib-2.88.1 (with GObject Introspection), PyGObject-3.56.2, Valgrind-3.27.0 (for some tests), dblatex (for PDF docs), libgda, Mono, pxlib, and Psiconv

## Installation of Gnumeric

There is a conflict between the latest libxml2 package and the German help xml file that prevents the build from completing. Do not try to build it:

    sed -i '/HELP_LINGUAS/s/de//' doc/Makefile.in

Install Gnumeric by running the following commands:

    ./configure --prefix=/usr  &&
    make

This package must be installed before the test suite is run.

Now, as the `root` user:

    make install

To run the tests, issue make check. Tests should be run from an active X session, and DConf-0.49.0 should be installed to prevent some failures. Four tests are known to fail. Additional failures may occur if valgrind is installed.

## Command Explanations

`--enable-pdfdocs`: Use this switch if you have installed dblatex and wish to create PDF docs.
