thats great. To have it equal to the other library files, can you please provide me
additionally also the time stamp of the file. It will be in the format "HH:MM".
$ ls -lT libtl.dylib

fantastic, thanks a lot.

Kay, I have attached a ".txt" file that incorporates the changes
suggested. Two items are *not* included.
thanks. This is very much appreciated. We will include your text into
the Readme file soon.
(1) There is a need to provide the md5 and sha256 hash of the
libtl.dylib file. Many Mac users do not have any experience with GnuPG or
OpenPGP keys. However, the Mac comes with tools to verify md5 and sha256
hashes already installed. Instructions on how to use them can be included
in the README file if that is desirable.
(2) Users who choose to use the Finder method of installing the new file
do not have any way to check signatures or hashes without using the
command line.
OK. As we have described the hash checks for Windows and Linux it makes
sense to give this topic a separate paragraph, so that it can be done at
least optional.
Let me know what more help I can provide.
As you have also already tested the new library file successfully this
would be the other half. So, it seems at the moment we are perfectly
happy. ;-)
Again, thanks a lot for your help.
maybe you can help us with one more thing.
We provide some data to offer ways for file verification. However, some basic information
like file size would also help. For Mac I need to know the following for the *old*
"libtl.dylib" file:
- file size (exact bytes)
- time stamp (date + time)
- MD5 hash value
- SHA256 hash value
Is it possible for you to provide these data?
I downloaded a fresh copy of AOO 4.1.2 for OSX and installed it in my user
account.
Here is the information you requested for the "libtl.dylib" file:
(2016-08-13: OSX Version 10.11.6; Hardware: Macbook Air (Late 2010))
$ cd ~/Applications/OpenOffice.app/Contents/program/
$ ls -l libtl.dylib
-r--r--r-- 1 band staff 842496 Oct 21 2015 libtl.dylib
$ shasum -a 256 libtl.dylib

$ md5 -r libtl.dylib

Thanks in advance.

Hi Bill and thanks for helping out.
To aid in readability of your edits, would it be possible for you to
make
your proposed changes to the MacOSX readme and include the whole file
(with
your edits) as a ".txt" attachment to this message?

Dennis Hamilton asked me to look at the 4.1.2-patch1 README file for
Mac
OSX.
I have done so and include the following information.
My test system info: OSX Version 10.11.6 "El Capitan"
Hardware: Macbook Air (Late 2010)
==================
(1) The text of the current MacOSX.README.txt file.
https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/openoffice/4.1.2-
patch1/binaries/MacOSX/MacOSX.README.txt
1. Make sure that OpenOffice is not running.
2. Open a terminal and unpack the downloaded file (e.g., with Archive
Utility or WinZip Mac Edition) to an easily
locatable path.
3. Open the Finder App - or another file manager of your choice.
4. Locate the installation path of OpenOffice (e.g.,
"/Applications/Utilities/OpenOffice4/program/").
5. Rename the old file "libtl.dylib" to "libtl.dylib.original" to
keep a
backup.
6. Copy the new file from the unpacked Zip file to the installation
path
(e.g, "/Desktop/libtl.dylib" --> "/Applications/Utilities/
OpenOffice4/program/").
===================
(2) Suggested updates to that file.
1. OK AS WRITTEN
2. Download the "libtl.dylib" file to the Downloads folder (or any
other
folder or to the Desktop)
2.1. Verify the download integrity: see UPDATE NEEDED below.
3. OK AS WRITTEN
4. Locate the installation path of OpenOffice (e.g.,
"/Applications/OpenOffice.app/Contents/program"
5. OK AS WRITTEN
6. Copy the new libtl.dylib file to the OpenOffice/Contents/program
folder. (Administrator privileges needed.)
In the terminal these commands will work.
$ cd ~/Downloads
$ sudo cp -v libtl.dylib /Applications/OpenOffice.app/Contents/program
UPDATE NEEDED: need to provide the md5 and sha256 hash of the
libtl.dylib file. Many Mac users do not have any experience with
GnuPG or
OpenPGP keys. However, the Mac comes with tools to verify md5 and
sha256
hashes already installed. Those instructions can be added to the
README.
===================
(3) MacOSX instructions for how to update the dylib file without
using a
Terminal window.
DIRECTIONS FOR UPDATING THE FILE WITHOUT USING A Terminal window.
Note: Mac users can NOT check file integrity without using a terminal
window.
These instructions assume:
(1) that the user account has Administrator privileges; and
(2) that the file "libtl.dylib" was saved to the Downloads folder.
1. In the Finder select the Go menu on the Application menu bar (at
the top of the screen) and open a window to the Downloads folder.
2. In the Finder open another Finder window and in the sidebar select
the Applications folder.
Hold down the "control" key and select the OpenOffice application.
Select Show Package Contents from the drop-down menu.
Open the Contents folder now displayed in the Finder window.
Select and open the "program" folder displayed in the Finder window.
Scroll through the list of files shown and find "libtl.dylib"
Hold down the "control" key and select the "libtl.dylib" file.
Select Duplicate from the drop-down menu.
( a file named "libtl copy.dylib" is created )
Select the back button "<" from the Finder window top menu.
( the Finder displays the list of files and folders in the Contents
folder )
3. Now select the Finder window showing the "Downloads" folder
contents.
Hold down the "control" key and select the "libtl.dylib" file.
Select 'Copy "libtl.dylib"' from the drop-down menu.
Select the other Finder window showing the list of files in the
Contents folder.
Hold down the "control" key and select the "program" folder.
Select "Paste Item" from the drop-down menu.
A window appears with the message:
An older item named "libtl.dylib" already exists in this
location. Do you want to replace it with the newer one you're
moving?
Select the "Replace" button.
===================
I have tested the replacing the file both ways. AOO seems to start up
without problem with the new file in place.
Let me know how I can help further.
