Hi Ariel,
don't know others, but I always left the desktop integration for the
"stable" version I'm working with at that moment (if not, just click on
any OOo doc will open them on a version not meant for *production* , and
this is not very safe)
Yes, desktop integration is rarely needed. Don't know when I last time
installed one with system integration ...
Which reminds me of what I should have mentioned in my previous mail:
Try
msiexec /a openofficedev.msi
This does a so-called administrative installation, which effectively
means the .cab files (I'm talking about Windows only here, there are
similar solutions for other platforms) are simply extracted.
Be sure to, before you run OOo the first time, adjust the
"UserInstallation" key in program/bootstrap.ini. For me, it always looks
like
UserInstallation=$ORIGIN/..
Since $ORIGIN expands to the program directory, this means you get a
folder "user" besides the "program" folder, where "user" will take all
your user data. (Which implies if you use the same installation from
multiple Windows accounts, they will all share the user data - which is
unlike a "normal" installation.)
This procedure IMO is unbeatable when it comes to running multiple OOo
versions in parallel.
Finally I got it under Linux.
For those interested on "installing"(== unziping) an RPM version without
installing it:
# cd to the folder where you downloaded the *.tar.gz
~> cd /home/arielconstenlahaile/descargas/ooo/
# make a temp dir to extract the file content
~/descargas/ooo> mkdir INSTooo231
# cd to that temp folder
~/descargas/ooo> cd INSTooo231/
# extrat the file content
~/descargas/ooo/INSTooo231> tar zxvf
../OOo_SRC680_m231_LinuxX86_install_es_rpm.tar.gz
# now create another temp dir to extrat all the RPMs
~/descargas/ooo/INSTooo231> cd RPMS/
# make a temp dir where to extrat OpenOffice.org INST root dir
~/descargas/ooo/INSTooo231/RPMS> mkdir TEMP_ROOT
~/descargas/ooo/INSTooo231/RPMS> cd TEMP_ROOT/
# extract the RPMs
~/descargas/ooo/INSTooo231/RPMS/TEMP_ROOT> for i in
../openoffice.org*.rpm; do rpm2cpio $i | cpio -id; done
Ready! In TEMP_ROOT/ you will find:
TEMP_ROOT/opt/openoffice.org2.3/
Just copy all the root folder to wherever you want.
To change the USER directory configuration:
edit program/bootstraprc
UserInstallation=$ORIGIN/../.openoffice.org2_680_231
will put everything in the same folder, and this way it will be easy to
delete.
There "must" be a command line option, but I didn't find it on ./soffice
-help
OOo plugin for NetBeans uses (I think) a command line option to debug
extensions and set the user dir in the NB build folder:
debugging UNO extension package ...
wait until preparation is finished.
deploying UNO extension package for debugging ...
/opt/openoffice.org2.3/program/unopkg gui -f
/home/arielconstenlahaile/java/ide/openoffice/StatusbarController/dist/StatusBarController.oxt
starting the Office with ...
user installation:
file:///home/arielconstenlahaile/java/ide/openoffice/StatusbarController/build/soffice_debug
debug options: "-Xdebug"
"-Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,address=localhost:10280"
/opt/openoffice.org2.3/program/soffice
preparation finished.
Regards
Ariel
