[OpenIndiana-discuss] Libreoffice

[ken mays]

Hello,

See: http://pkgsrc-wip.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/pkgsrc-wip/wip/libreoffice/Makefile?hideattic=1&revision=1.17&view=markup

I have an experimental LibreOffice spec in SFE. I was pulling from LibreOffice Git initially, but you can use the smaller release tarballs.

A few of us talked of porting LibreOffice 3.3.4 about a few months ago and I worked on alternatively resolving this through maintaining our port build of Wine 1.3.x (i.e. my clients use Microsoft Office 2010 and LibreOffice 3.3.4/3.4.5). 

A recent Wine 1.3.36 build is in the OI sfe-encumbered IPS repo.

FOSDEM 2012 may provide additional resources to assist and discuss in the native LibreOffice port for OpenIndiana/Solaris 11.

A few other people working/assisting on the LibreOffice for OpenIndiana/Solaris native port were:  Francois Tigeot, Dr. Karl Behler, and Michael Meeks (Novell). 

Hope that helped,
Ken Mays

except on Solaris 10 SunRays ... in which case you have to resort to
OpenOffice3.2 ...

OpenOffice3.2 has problems with colour matching on the screen (red and
blue font colours are the wrong way round for instance)
OpenOffice3.3 has problems with corrupting the profiles of the users
who are using it.

OpenOffice3.3 works fine on my OpenIndiana laptop though.
