Converting Visio templates (VSS) to Open Document Graphics (ODG)

# Once you've done this you can then convert the VSS files to ODG files. It produces a picture per page, some of the layout is up the creek, but you have the image now.

# Converting Visio templates (VSS) to Open Document Graphics (ODG)
# From http://theengguy.blogspot.com/2013/06/although-open-office-or-libre-has-visio.html
# Although Open Office or Libre has Visio support, it doesn't work on recent templates (.vss files) as they are wrappered EMF/WMF files, you need vss2odg which comes as part of writerperfect. 
# To install on Ubuntu/Debian Linux (suspect you actually only need libvisio and libboost, but I've included the other libraries writerperfect expects):
sudo apt-get install libboost-dev
sudo apt-get install git
sudo apt-get install automake
sudo apt-get install libtools
sudo apt-get install doxygen
sudo apt-get install libcppunit-dev
sudo apt-get install gperf
sudo apt-get install libicu-dev
sudo apt-get install gnome-common
sudo apt-get install gtk-doc-tools
