Attached is a port that for the binary version of OpenOffice. I just
wanted to hear, if it's worth my time to continue and extend (other
languages as subpackages) this port or if I just produced crap that
> nobody needs.
I find it handy. I previously had copied the files over from a Linux box
and got it working, but I had serious stability problems (program
locking up regularly). So far stability has been better (only two
lockups so far, with limited use of your binary port).
Currently there are no instructions in pkg/MESSAGE on how to create the
/proc filesystem, because i'm not sure if it's really needed...
I had thought it was necessary, but have run without it.
The problem I have is that if you have a native Java on your path,
the startup script hangs at the "javaldr" command. Could you add a check
for whether jdk-linux or jdk-1.x is installed, or otherwise found out
which, so people don't have to dement their paths just to use soffice?
Or even just patch out javaldr altogether, if what it wants to do
can't be done in our environment?
Otherwise I think it's a good thing - thanks! Clearly a native port
would be better, but that's a longer term goal.
