According to Wiliam Woods: > I am planning on useing StarOffice for my office suite, unfortunaltely, the > only version I can find anywhere is 4.0 sp3. Does this work on FreeBSD? I am This version works beautifully under 3.0. You have to patch the setup.bin binary and a library afterwards (because they reference /proc directly).

It will hopefully soon. -=- From: Andre Albsmeier <andre.albsmeier@mchp.siemens.de> > On Mon, Jun 29, 1998 at 08:59:40PM +0200, Andre Albsmeier wrote: > > However, the installed thing doesn't run properly and consumes only cpu time > > but I hadn't had time to investigate this yet... > > The installed program requires '/proc/<pid>/cmdline', too. Doing that > sed-thing again on the soffice.bin will probably help you. Thanks for the hint... After modyfing lib/libsal364.so as well Staroffice 4.0 SP3 is running here. So the complete instructions are: 1. Unpack the sp3 distribution 2. cd into the Install directory (where setup.bin is) 3. sed -e 's,/proc/%u/cmdline,/compat/linux/so,' < setup.bin > setup.new 4. mv setup.new setup.bin 5. chmod 755 setup.bin 6. touch /compat/linux/so 7. ./setup The install program should run and install StarOffice. Maybe I missed some step but this is closely what I have done. Then, after installing it, go to the lib directory and do the sed command on libsal364.so: 1. sed -e 's,/proc/%u/cmdline,/compat/linux/so,' < libsal364.so > libsal364.new 2. mv libsal364.new libsal364.so 3. chmod 755 libsal364.so The new /compat/linux/so path can be anything that does not exceed the 16 characters. It only has to point to an empty file... -Andre -=- -- Ollivier ROBERT -=- FreeBSD: The Power to Serve! -=- roberto@keltia.freenix.fr FreeBSD keltia.freenix.fr 3.0-CURRENT #2: Sun Nov 8 01:22:20 CET 1998 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
