Can we have LibreOffice?

[JustinCB]

It looks like libreoffice is not available on tinycore 11.x.

Hi JustinCB
The current version of  libreoffice  in TC10 was copied over from TC8. Try downloading:
http://tinycorelinux.net/10.x/x86/tcz/libreoffice.tcz
http://tinycorelinux.net/10.x/x86/tcz/libreoffice.tcz.dep
http://tinycorelinux.net/10.x/x86/tcz/libreoffice.tcz.md5.txt
into your  tce/optional  directory.

Using the  Apps  utility click  Apps->Maintenance->Dependencies and Deletions
Then click  Dependencies->Fetch Missing Dependencies
Click  Dependencies->Exit Dependency Check
Click Apps->Load App Locally
Scroll down to  libreoffice.tcz  and click on it.
Click the  Load  button and see what happens.

libreoffice was not copied over because it depends on old versions of icu, openssl and poppler (and perhaps others).

It seems newer versions of libreoffice will not compile 32-bit - I'll look at re-compiling an older version at some point.

I've found some extensions like dhcp and mariadb require a minimum -march=i686 or they won't compile. Could this be the issue?

[Juanito]

It might be, but I suspect libreoffice has given up testing on 32-bit.

Hi Juanito

libreoffice was not copied over because it depends on old versions of icu, openssl and poppler (and perhaps others). ...

I had checked the libreoffice  .dep  file and  openssl  was not listed as a dependency. The  .tree  file showed other dependencies
depended on  openssl.

Does  libreoffice  have a direct dependency on  openssl  even though it's not listed?

[Juanito]

This will show a dep on openssl:

Code: [Select]

$ ldd /usr/local/lib/libreoffice/program/*.so*
I managed to get libreoffice to compile, but so far it will not start:

Code: [Select]

$ libreoffice
...
The application cannot be started.
component context fails to supply service
com.sun.star.uiModuleUIConfigurationManager of type
com.sun.star.uiXModuleUIConfigurationManager2: an error occurred during file opening

[Juanito]

I managed to compile the latest version (6.4.0.3) for both i486 and i686, but it still refuses to start with the same error 

[nick65go]

(without putting salt on the wound) maybe the compile swithces from here will help?

[Juanito]

There definitely seems to be something about later versions of libreoffice and 32-bit.

I just compiled the latest version on CorePure64 with the same ./configure switches as 32-bit (except -march and -mtune) and it works.

[GNUser]

As a (temporary?) alternative for 32-bit TCL users, consider  gnumeric  (for spreadsheets) and  abiword  (for word processing).

Even though I run Pure64 on my personal machine, I've been using  gnumeric  for a while (to avoid all the dependencies of libreoffice) and have found it to be a drop-in replacement for libreoffice-calc. My wife and I share some spreadsheets (.ods files) and we have no problem with the same file going back and forth between her libreoffice-calc and my gnumeric.

I'm not seeing a lot of answers on the Internet. This Tinycore user tried building LibreOffice last April with the same result:
https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice/2019-April/082478.html

This fellow claimed reinstalling  clucene  fixed it for him:

Maybe something is looking for  clucene  in  /usr/lib ?

[Juanito]

I've now tried with i486, i686 and haswell - no errors during the 4h compile, but all fail with:

Code: [Select]

$ libreoffice
LibreOffice 6.4 - Fatal Error: The application cannot be started.
component context fails to supply service com.sun.star.ui.ModuleUIConfigurationManager of type com.sun.star.ui.XModuleUIConfigurationManager2: an error occurred during file opening
enough - I'll look at repackaging the x86 tc-10.x libreoffice.
