I've just added an OS/2 & eComStation build of Scribus v1.3.3.6 (http://www.scribus.net) to http://smedley.info/os2ports
Scribus is an open-source program that brings award-winning professional page layout to Linux/Unix, MacOS X and Windows desktops with a combination of "press-ready" output and new approaches to page layout.
Underneath the modern and user friendly interface, Scribus supports professional publishing features, such as CMYK color, separations, ICC color management and versatile PDF creation.
The OS/2 & eComStation build requires libc061.dll - which is available from ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/gcc/libc-0.6.1-csd1.zip
Known issues:
- Scribus currently expects/demands to be in the root directory - ie scribus
- After exiting scribus, you'll see some errors about loading icon files in the standard output - these are under investigation
- scribus plugins are currently not available
- after adding text in a text box, the text isn't visible until a screen redraw is done - ie change zoom factor or middle mouse click to force a redraw
- If a file called fonts.conf doesn't exist in %HOME%fonts.conf, one will be created automatically when scribus.exe is run for the first time, however, Scribus will crash with signal 11. On the 2nd attempt to load scribus.exe, it will load fine.
