How-To: Installing WP8.1/Linux in FreeBSD 5.3
Introduction: Word Perfect 8.1 is the version that was bundled
with Corel Linux (CLOS); the "deluxe" version of CLOS included
additonal T1 fonts. Word Perfect 8 Personal Edition was
available as a free download or as a retail package.
The download version lacks the font installer utility and
therefore cannot install additional fonts.
This how-to describes installing WP8.1 in FreeBSD. I have not tried running the installer script used by WP 8 Personal and download versions. For WP8 install in Linux, then TAR the entire installed ~/wp8 directory and its subdirectories. The additional Linux support packages can be obtained from a Linux that supports WP8/8.1.
1. Required packages: (for WP8.1 convert Deb to TAR)
WP8-full
fontsXX
type1inst
libc5
libc6 NB: provides /lib/ld-2.3.1.so
2. Extract all TAR's in /compat/linux
3. brandelf -t Linux /compat/linux/usr/lib/wp8/wpbin/*
brandelf -t Linux /compat/linux/usr/lib/wp8/shbin10/*
Note: the above path is for WP8.1; adjust accordingly if using WP8.
4. Symlinks:
cd /compat/linux/lib; ln -s ld-2.3.1.so ld-linux.so.1
5. Edit: /compat/linux/usr/bin/xwp : add /compat/linux in front
of all paths.
6. Font installation:
cd /compat/linux/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1;
/compat/linux/usr/bin/type1inst
/compat/linux/usr/lib/wp8/shbin10/wpfi
7. Use xwpdest to create dedicated output device.
CD /compat/linux/usr/lib/wp8/shbin10
SU; ./xwpdest
Create: Dedicated WP app Device (default)
Create: Device name: lp0
Create: Line Settings: parallel
Name the device when prompted and save configuration.
