It is good to have these but CUPS and LittleCMS are not required, but you will not be able to utilize all the features of Scribus without them. The configure script looks for QT 3.0.3 at least, CUPS, Tifflib, FreeType2 and LittleCMS. Debs are an efficient way of installation. The source code is downloaded and easy to configure and make.
Scribus does not have any prebuilt RPM’s or binary packages available for it. Scribus is meant to one day replace Adobe InDesign, Quark Express and if it continues on its current path it will meet its goal. It is developed byįranz Schmid and his team of many contributors. It is written in QT so it can run on a variety of Operating Systems.
Scribus is a open source Desktop Publishing Lapp. 1.0 came with so many bug fixes and has become so refined I decided to do a review of it. I have used Scribus both personally and professionally since the early development times. On Jthe Scribus project had a milestone release.
