[scribus] Scribus 1.5

[David Copeland]

I have just last week sucessfully built 1.5 on OpenSuse 13.1.

In addition to John's instructions you can also look at

http://wiki.scribus.net/canvas/Building_SVN_versions_with_CMake

which contains some OpenSuse 13.1 specific remarks, and also at

http://wiki.scribus.net/canvas/Official:Compile_with_CMake

You will have to install the development tools (gcc, cmake, etc) and
various libraries (with associated "devel" rpm's), which can be a bit
tedious the first time, but the above wiki articles are very helpful.

Dave.
