Re: [Cooker] openoffice menus?

2001-08-09 Thread Blue Lizard

I'm lost (as usual).  When I installed the openoffice rpm (from mdk),
under the file listing for rpm's contents, it contained only the setup
files.  So...uh...users cannot use it.  This is a problem, no?  BTW,
make sure you include kaffe (is it?) and/or gcc-javathingy (kaffe
complaint from a while back, prob no longer required) as dependencies
for staroffice.

Would it be possible to create a 'openoffice-setup' package?  the only
thing it would do is act as a wrapper for the openoffice 'setup'
script, and configure the openoffice menu's based on where it was 
installed.   I have no idea if this is even possible, but its a thought.

 openoffice has no configure script and its build give you an installable
 software ala zindoz.
 so as the user can install it anywhere, what command path can be provided in
 menu entry ?

That's the same for WordPerfect 8.
But Caldera has a spec for wp8 which triggers the install.
Then the spec decides where it is installed. 
An extra feature is then that it can be removed as an rpm, unlike the
windows way of removing (rm) a program
I bet it's time consuming to build such a spec and rpm, but i guess it
can be done.
