Thanks in advance. Kind regards Hi Sophie Well - the foundation is, A Foundation..good news yes! And here is the link to a VM pre-enstalled (mostly :-? ) The sustudio profile page is: http://susestudio.com/a/NfE1GU/lippity-lopity-loly_lazing-liger-lool-3 You know if I could maybe see to change the port number in the next build one could actually demo this using the testdrive feature at susestudio. So, the VM there is just the installation files are the 3.6 (master) build out from my machine (I'm sure they could be smaller) with the JeOS (Just enough Operating System) template, and not much (not enough it seems) more. I put a copy of the download file here also (fo anyone not wanting to register an account at suseStudio): http://lo-portal.us/SBS/download/Liger__LOoL3.i686-0.0.9.vmx.tar.gz MD5: 78de314bc29101f1e70674b27c39cf11 So it is pretty straight forward Download the compressed file un-pack to a directory of your choice it will create a dir with that silly name lippity-lopity-loly_lazying-liger-lool-3 by default create your entry in your vm manager of choice (VBox, KVM, Quem) Start the vm and get to a command prompt (logon as tux, password linux) you can start LibO in listening mode with the shell script ~/liber.sh Best wishes, //drew ___ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice

Do you think you can create a wiki page and dump the details in there in a prettier format by any chance ? [ that would help others with the same question ], and mail the link back :-) So - firstly, it requires a Linux server; and then it requires a very recent version (git master) of gtk3, or failing that, I back-ported the required fixes for openSUSE 12.1 here: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/michael_meeks:/branches:/openSUSE:/12.1:/Update/standard/i586/ from https://build.opensuse.org/project/show?project=home%3Amichael_meeks%3Abranches%3AopenSUSE%3A12.1%3AUpdate That's perhaps the easiest way to get it going. Without the above fixes you're stuck with the FireFox 4 (only) websockets impl. with them, you can use 'any modern browser' ;-) Then - you'll want a master compile of LibreOffice, we don't pre-build this stuff into our generic 3.5.0 packages for various complicated and unpleasant reasons. To get that checkout the steps here, and ask for help if you get stuck: http://www.libreoffice.org/developers-3/ Adding --disable-java as an autogen.sh/configure option might make your life significantly easier. Finally, when that is done do a 'make dev-install' cd install/program export SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gtk3 export GDK_BACKEND=broadway ./soffice -writer you should get a splash-screen and lots of churning debug, then nothing. Head over to a browser: http://localhost:8080 and you're ready to play, and debug have some fun. Press '9' to turn on the debug bbox re-rendering to show what area is re-rendered as you type (I have a patch to remove a hack to over-expand that if you get this far), and zero to force-refresh the screen.
