Re: for the impatient: Linux LibreOffice works on FreeBSD
ports lately and not everyone can or wants follow all the patches flying around, I'd like to share that the Linux binary build runs fine for me. I downloaded Linux' x86 tar package, did tar xf to get RPMs and finally: for i in *rpm; do rpm2cpio $i | cpio -ivd; done That created opt/libreoffice3.5. You can move where you like and start it using libreoffice3.5/program/soffice. (I'm tracking 9-STABLE with Linux compatibility enabled it this matters.) May this help someone lazy or impatient like me... what's wrong in /usr/ports/editors/openoffice-3 ? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Re: for the impatient: Linux LibreOffice works on FreeBSD
What sort of errors did you encounter while building the package using the ports? The first problem is that it now demands clang-devel, which conflicts with chromium which still wants regular clang. Any idea how likely it is that chromium will build if I tell it to use clang-devel?

The only good thing they seem *not* to have screwed with is VirtualBox. not really. The backend part of virtualbox is great. The frontend with is UUIDS for everything, XML and other trash is plain terrible.
