[Vectorlinux-devel] OpenOffice Issues in SOHO 6.0 Alphas

[John B <joh...@gm...>]

There was some traffic about a package of OpenOffice that was built from
source using the go-oo building method. I think that the reason it's not
working with the KDE 4 SOHO is that unlike "traditional" builds of
OpenOffice, the go-oo method uses KDE 4's file picker, etc, as some patches
were made to test for the presence of KDE 4. When I built the package that
is in the testing repo, it was build against VL 6.0 standard, which doesn't
have KDE 4. Thus, --disable-kde4 was passed to the configure script for the
bulid.

If we want to use OpenOffice built from source in SOHO 6.0, it will need to
be built against the kdelibs from KDE 4 so that files can be opened, etc.
I'm willing to embark on this tonight when I get home from work. Thoughts
anybody?
