OpenOffice.org Build 1.0.1 Personal Install How-To Written by: Martin Blapp OpenOffice.org will soon been installed in ${PREFIX}/OpenOffice.org1.0/ 1 User installation ------------------- 1.1 OO.org installed from the ports collection Once this is done you have to run "make install-user" as the user you like to use OO.org and choose a standard workstation installation. 1.2 OO.org installed as package First check if procfs is running. OO.org setup does depend on procfs and does crash without it. This dependency will be removed in future, but at the moment it is needed. Please read the procfs(5) manpage and ensure the the following line is in /etc/fstab: proc /proc procfs rw 0 0 If you have just installed OO.org as package, there is no "make install-user" option available. Instead you'll have to run as the user you like to use OO.org: "${PREFIX}/bin/openoffice-setup" and choose a standard workstation installation. 2 JDK-Installation ------------------ If OO.org asks you to choose the Java JDK during "make install-user", you must choose the linux jdk1.3.1. Native FreeBSD jdk1.3.1 does not work yet with FreeBSD OO.org does ignore it. 3 Start OO.org -------------- There are some wrappers installed for fast startup. Add "${PREFIX}/bin/" to your PATH and you will be able to use them. ${PREFIX}/bin/openoffice ${PREFIX}/bin/openoffice-sagenda ${PREFIX}/bin/openoffice-scalc ${PREFIX}/bin/openoffice-sdraw ${PREFIX}/bin/openoffice-setup ${PREFIX}/bin/openoffice-sfax ${PREFIX}/bin/openoffice-simpress ${PREFIX}/bin/openoffice-spadmin ${PREFIX}/bin/openoffice-sweb ${PREFIX}/bin/openoffice-swriter 4 Setup problems ---------------- If the setup complains about a missing file "setup.ins", it's time to upgrade your FreeBSD system to the lastest version. You will encounter this bug only if your OS is older than FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE. 4.6-RELEASE and 4.6.2-RELEASE are still affected. 5 Crashes in URL-location bar ----------------------------- OO.org can crash if you enter a non existing path or URL in the location bar. To fix these crashes you need a uncommitted system patch for rtld: http://people.freebsd.org/~mbr/ooo/rtld-symlookup.diff
