<td BGCOLOR="#EEEEEE"><b>What is xxl?</b>
|
|
<p>Xxl is a free graphical spreadsheet developed at <a href="http://www.unice.fr">the
|
|
University of Nice</a> for Unix platforms. Xxl is written in <a href="http://kaolin.unice.fr">STk
|
|
</a>and
|
|
is based on the <a href="http://www.hobbs.wservice.com/tcl/capp/tkTable">tkTable</a>
|
|
widget. Xxl is designed to be simple, easy to use and user friendly. The
|
|
aim of xxl is not to compete with commercial spreadsheets. The latter are
|
|
often too complex for novices and provides too much functionnalities for
|
|
current usages. This last version of xxl provides a really fonctionnal
|
|
spreadsheet for small or middle-size sheets. The model it defines is similar
|
|
to that of all present-day spreadsheets. However, this model is limited
|
|
and has to be entirely revisited. Xxl should be a stable experimental platform
|
|
for future studies, in order to propose a reflexion and to define tools
|
|
for a new spreadsheet generation, more simple and secure to use. This point
|
|
of vue and more generally the xxl project is described in this <a href="http://www.linuxjournal.com/issue60/3186.html">paper</a>.

<b>Known Intallation Problems:</b>
|
|
<ul><li>
|
|
With Dec Alpha, Stk and Xxl cannot be compiled with gcc.</li>
|
|
<br><b>FIX</b>: use the native C compiler (ie cc)</ul>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Problem loading libxxl.so when xxl starts (unresolved symbols). You have
|
|
upgraded to lib6c (glibc), but your STk had been compiled under lib5c.</li>
|
|
|
|
<br><b>FIX</b>: recompile STk using libc6</ul>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
With SunOS helios 5.6 (and maybe others sunos), xxl does not compile with
|
|
yacc and lex.</li>
|
|
|
|
<br><b>FIX</b>: install and use <a href="ftp://elec.polytech.unice.fr:/pub/flex-2.5.4a.tar.gz">flex</a>
|
|
and <a href="ftp://elec.polytech.unice.fr:/pub/bison-1.25.tar.gz">bison</a></ul>
