Same error as before?

And what packages from that download link did you install? (Not all are needed)
And what language support, including dictionaries do you need?

As Alien Bob now has working packages, why not forget building and skip to those?
Otherwise, if you're a sucker for punishment or perfection, run

Code:

ldd /path/to executable(s) |grep found

I've never had an error escape that check, and it's nearly always been libboost-something-or-other.

it was resolved by upgrade to LibreOffice-7.2.2.2

I don't see rsamurti replying to anything in that thread, so how can you know it's been solved?

Once again, for especially gifted bloggers, I'm trying, the problem was solved by UPDATING the PACKAGE on the website of the PACKAGE itself, download the whole package from https://LibreOffice.org , and don't fuck people's brains.

As far as I can see from your other thread Roman, you did not download and install a "package". You downloaded the Libre Office source code, ran something resembling "configure && make && make install" and then started the resulting binary from its local installation path "/usr/local/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice". That is your private binary, it does not help rsamurti a single bit that your locally compiled sources work for you.

what well to do , if you package is OUTDATED ?

in LibreOffice.org now was changed build system, it now how like a FreeBSD "make", do get dependencies AUTOMATED from internet.
Compilation was light and easy.

I'm only show the way ! You can do select.

Code:

libreoffice: updated to 7.2.2 for Slackware-current.
  You can compile this on Slackware 14.2 yourself with some caveats, see the
  header of the libreoffice.SlackBuild.

Why does a person need a slackbuild, if you just need to go to the calalog and start the assembly, because this slackbuild will lead to an error.
The standard assembly from the package LibreOffice.org itself for the Slackware receives all the necessary automatically !

nope

I'm not sure if you really know Alienbob's work ...

probably because the binaries are ready to be installed and with slackpkg+ it takes 20sec to install

Roman Dyaba · 10-16-2021, 06:37 AM

@ marav slackpkg+ is no differ what download from ~alien direct, but before you post about slackbuild.

http://www.slackware.com/~alien/slac...s/libreoffice/
http://www.slackware.com/~alien/slac...pkg64/current/

Code:

mkdir libreoffice
cd libreoffice
wget -c -r -A *.txz -nd -np http://www.slackware.com/~alien/slackbuilds/libreoffice/pkg64/current/
su
installpkg libreoffice*.txz

both, slackpkg+ and sbopkg, is not a clear Slackware way - build pkg from source, also have integrated makepkg Slackware utility.

Code:

bash-5.1# makepkg --help

Usage: makepkg package_name.tgz
       (or: package_name.tbz, package_name.tlz, package_name.txz)

Makes a Slackware compatible package containing the contents of the current
and all subdirectories. If symbolic links exist, they will be removed and
an installation script will be made to recreate them later. This script will
be called "install/doinst.sh". You may add any of your own ash-compatible
shell scripts to this file and rebuild the package if you wish.

options:  -l, --linkadd y|n (moves symlinks into doinst.sh: recommended)
          -p, --prepend (prepend rather than append symlinks to an existing
               doinst.sh.  Useful to link libraries needed by programs in
               the doinst.sh script)
          -c, --chown y|n (resets all permissions to root:root 755 - not
               generally recommended)
          --threads <number> For xz/plzip compressed packages, set the max
               number of threads to be used for compression. Only has an
               effect on large packages. For plzip, the default is equal to
               the number of CPU threads available on the machine. For xz,
               the default is equal to 2 (due to commonly occuring memory
               related failures when using many threads with multi-threaded
               xz compression).
          --compress <option> Supply a custom option to the compressor.
               This will be used in place of the default, which is: -9
          --acls Support storing POSIX ACLs in the package. The resulting
               package will not be compatible with pkgtools version < 15.0.
          --xattrs Support storing extended attributes in the package. The
               resulting package will not be compatible with pkgtools
               version < 15.0.

If these options are not set, makepkg will prompt if appropriate.

i show what LibreOffice.org can get direct all dependencies, and build automatically.

./configure
make
make install

True. I have slackpkg+ configured to get LibreOffice from AlienBobs repository using slackpkg (with the slackpkg+ addon installed)

https://slackware.nl/people/alien/sb...current/x86_64

"slackpkg install libreoffice"

Gives me a selection list to install from.
I select the following:
libreoffice-dict-en-7.2.2-x86_64-1alien
libreoffice-kde-integration-7.2.2-x86_64-1alien
libreoffice-7.2.2-x86_64-1alien

slackpkg is the slackware way, slackpkg+ added third party packages.

Quote:

./configure
make

With no control over where LibreOffice or what dependencies are installed. Not the Slackware way in my opinion.

That said it's great that it works for you. Perhaps I will experiment this with and see for my self.

Roman Dyaba · 10-16-2021, 01:33 PM

@chrisretusn hooo ! to standard Linux dir for users /usr/local !

Gordie · 10-16-2021, 09:07 PM

I have been following along. I run an up-to-date full install of Slackware64-Current and I just install AlienBob's rebuilt Slackware packages.

I wonder for how long I have missed installing libreoffice-kde-integration. Never knew it was provided, never installed it and everything runs without a problem. It is not on my system presently and there are no plans to install it now or in the future

There are many tools Eric built that are at your disposal. many things have not caught up to Current but the tools are there.

Eric retired from LQ good and bad thing good is his translation of english seems to be very vulgar at times. Just like Pat's
But the tools are there neither one of them actually write code.
they are good at fixing stuff and that in it's self is a huge art.
Use the tools edit the tools fix the tools.
Grab a copy of his git and do it.

So if you think Pat or Eric write patches and contribute to the software you build show me one.
They are packagers Just like Willy like many other distro people.
They are nothing like SUSE maintainer that maintains ALSA.
There work is to create scripts build packages and hope some Dev does the work.
No more no less.
just good old people trying to make it work.
