New LibreOffice for Lubuntu 12.04/A-EON Live Remix DVD

[xeno74]

Hi!
Currently I am using kernel 3.15.10 and it works fine!
However, I want to use the more recent Libreoffice 4.3.
How can I update Libre Office 3.x and to the other upgraded programs with new features in Trusty Tahr?

You are right. I installed from the CD and updated from the ubuntu repository 12.04!

Hi Papaoskar,

I'll try to compile the new LibreOffice for our A-EON Live Remix distribution.

Rgds,

Christian

Hi All,

I can say, LibreOffice is a monster. It takes a very long time to compile it. It has many many many dependencies.

My autogen arguments:

Code: Select all

./autogen.sh --with-vendor='The Document Foundation, A-EON Core Linux Support Team'  --enable-lockdown --libdir=/usr/lib --host=powerpc-linux-gnu --build=powerpc-linux-gnu --disable-online-update --without-fonts --without-myspell-dicts --disable-dependency-tracking --enable-hardlink-deliver --enable-release-build --enable-verbose --with-alloc=system --enable-extension-integration --with-system-altlinuxhyph --with-system-vigra --with-system-mythes --with-system-icu --with-system-beanshell --with-system-hsqldb --with-system-bluez --with-system-neon --with-system-openssl --with-system-apache-commons --with-system-graphite --with-system-libexttextcat --with-system-cppunit --with-system-mariadb --with-system-mysql-cppconn --with-system-postgresql  --with-system-jpeg --with-system-libxml --with-system-expat --with-system-odbc --with-system-curl --with-system-sane --with-system-mesa-headers --with-system-poppler --with-system-libpng --with-system-nss  --with-system-lcms2 --with-system-openldap --with-system-glm --disable-firebird-sdbc --disable-coinmp --enable-symbols=SMALL --without-junit --with-jdk-home=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk-powerpc --enable-ext-wiki-publisher --with-commons-codec-jar=/usr/share/java/commons-codec.jar --with-commons-lang-jar=/usr/share/java/commons-lang.jar --with-commons-httpclient-jar=/usr/share/java/commons-httpclient.jar --with-commons-logging-jar=/usr/share/java/commons-logging.jar --with-commons-logging-jar=/usr/share/java/commons-logging.jar --with-external-dict-dir=/usr/share/hunspell --with-external-hyph-dir=/usr/share/hyphen --with-external-thes-dir=/usr/share/mythes --enable-eot --disable-gltf --disable-kde --disable-kdeab --enable-ext-mariadb-connector --disable-firebird-sdbc --disable-evolution2 --with-hsqldb-jar=/usr/share/java/hsqldb-1.8.0.10.jar --enable-scripting-beanshell --enable-scripting-javascript --enable-dbus --with-webdav=neon --disable-ccache --without-doxygen --disable-ext-wiki-publisher --disable-report-builder --disable-scripting-javascript --disable-scripting-beanshell

The first start on Lubuntu 12.04.5:

The problem is, that LibreOffice 4.3.2.2 needs a lot of new libraries. The libs are too old for LibreOffice 4.3.2.2 on our A-EON Live Remix/Lubuntu 12.04.5. Therefore the package of the new LibreOffice is very big because it contains a lot of new system libraries.

Ya an inspiration

I must get my Live Remix installed and start playing with some of this stuff you create

I do eventually want to get a compiling environment setup since one of my old pasttimes was compiling and altering muds and playing them for fun... I used to compile them on the Amiga but vfork() didn't always cut it

The first test version: LibreOffice_4.3.2.2_Linux_PPC.tar.gz

It could be that you have to install some libraries packages.

The following command starts LibreOffice:

Code: Select all

./program/soffice.bin

I tested the new LibreOffice without any problems on the A-EON Live Remix DVD (live session).

I only had to install the Libgraphite2-2.0.0 package.

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install libgraphite2-2.0.0

What a big download (1gB)

Tested and it works fine under AEon DVD.

Bravo

Hoping the same LibreOffice for OS4 soon...

Hi All,

I have stripped the binaries and libraries in the LibreOffice package for the A-EON Live Remix DVD. The normal unstripped directory has 2.8GB and the stripped directory has 380MB.

Download: LibreOffice_4.3.2.2_stripped_Linux_PPC.tar.gz

Please test the stripped version of LibreOffice.

Thanks,

Christian

Just for info: LibreOffice Base needs the package libhsqldb-java. You can install it with the following command:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install libhsqldb-java
