LWP UserAgent and HttpProtocol

[t18]

Hello,

I'm trying to compile OpenOffice (because it seems to be more lightweight than LibreOffice and I'm using old CPUs) but can't find the requested LWP packages.

The command "cpan -i ..." doesn't seem to install them.

How can I do?

Many thanks

Hello @T18!

When posting about a specific extension, please include
Tiny Core VERSION
Hardware PLATFORM
Desktop ENGINE (if GUI)

Example: TCL 16.x  x86_64  XORG/FLWM

This would give us all a head start as to where you're at.

If you're having extension problems, you'll also want to include a brief listing of your machine's specs.

Ok:  TC 15  x86  Xvesa.

The command "cpan -i ..." doesn't seem to install them.

If the openoffice extension will later rely on the lwp packages you will need to build them from source rather than installing them using cpan.

Precious hint, muchas gracias!

It seems I've fallen into a blood bath.

I had imagined to install just a couple of (LWP) libraries. Instead they need other files that in turn need other files that in turn need other files.

I'm downloading tons of micro-files, each of them needing further files. It's an endless process.

Is it possible they didn't invented an all-included package? I haven't find it.

Hi t18

I'm not trying to discourage you, but compiling any of the Office
packages sounds like a major undertaking to me.

Depending on what you are trying to achieve, is it possible using
abiword and gnumeric might meet your needs?

I've downloaded 53 files so far and it seems to be just the beginning. I think I'll give up.

Yes, I didn't expect so much pain with the Perl dependencies.
I'm likely to consider those alternatives.
