[SOLVED] Script to download and build the latest libreoffice

neymac · 09-04-2012, 07:06 PM

I've found a amazing script to update java (JRE) to the latest version. Is there any script to download the latest 3 libreoffice's files (help rpm, language source and Libreoffice rpm) available for slackware?

Even better, you can just download the packages provided by Alien Bob and available here for the application itself, languages files and mozilla plugins.

You will be able to use the standard Slackware tool to manage these packages; that wouldn't be the case with RPM ones.

Please notice though that these packages are intended for Slackware-13.37.

For Slackware 13.1 (if you are still using it) you could have to build yourself the packages with the SlackBuilds provided in the same directory.

I've built the latest (3.6.1) version with the 3 files downloaded from http://www.libreoffice.org/download. I'm looking for a way to check by script if is there a new version, download and build it automatically.I'm still with slackware 13.1 (64 bits), maybe I will upgrade to 14.0 soon.
Thanks for the tip.

You could probably start with something like this:

Code:

LIBOVERSION=$(wget -qO- http://www.libreoffice.org/download | sed -rn 's,.*/LibO_([0-9\.]*)_Linux_x86_install-rpm_en-US.tar.gz[^\.].*,\1,p')

if [ -z $LIBOVERSION ]; then
  echo "Could not work out the latest version; exiting"
  exit 1
fi

if /bin/ls /var/log/packages/libreoffice-$LIBOVERSION-* >/dev/null 2>&1 ; then
  echo "LibreOffice version $LIBOVERSION is already installed. Nothing to do!"
  exit 0
fi

wget --header="Accept-Language: $(echo $LANG | cut -d. -f1)" -qO- http://www.libreoffice.org/download |\
  grep -E "(install-rpm|langpack-rpm|helppack-rpm).*tar.gz[^\.]" |\
  grep -v "LibO-SDK" |\
  wget -Fi-

That covers the check for new version and download parts. Put this in a script and have the rest be like a traditional SlackBuild that does repacking, using $LIBOVERSION as the version number.

EDIT: The above assumes you are using the naming format libreoffice-version-arch-buildtag, like Alien Bob does with his packages. If you use some other name (i.e. not libreoffice) adjust my check in /var/log/packages/ accordingly.

A script for easy re-packaging of the official RPM's into a Slackware package can be found on SlackBuilds.org: http://slackbuilds.org/repository/13...e/libreoffice/

The differnce between my packages and the official RPM's:
My own packages (http://www.slackware.com/~alien/slac...s/libreoffice/) are compiled from source on Slackware - the official binary RPM's are not of course. They contain some compatibility libs that allow those binaries to run on a wide range of Linux distributions.

Thanks, ruario, your script works fine here. Then I'd just added the libreoffice.SlackBuild script on it and it's done (I changed "-" to "_" after $LIBOVERSION "if /bin/ls /var/log/packages/libreoffice-$LIBOVERSION-*" to match my package name).
Thanks, Alien Bob for the usefully hints.

Mildly off topic but I installed Libreoffice (3.6.1.2) from the slackbuild by editing the version variable, it seems to work fine but it looks very ugly in KDE.. Is there a way to enable qt/kde theme integration?

ruario · 09-08-2012, 06:32 AM

oxygen-gtk perhaps.

Or you can change the icon's styles on Libreoffice. "Tools"->"Options"->"Views"->"Icons size and styles" - Choose "oxygen (Automatic)" or try others styles, if you want.

I ended up finding the answer here. Renaming the /opt/libreoffice3.6/ure/lib/libstdc++.so.6 file results in a nice pretty KDE libreoffice.
