OO.o on OpenBSD

[CTho9305]

Will the freebsd package work (http://projects.imp.ch/openoffice/)? Do I have to compile it myself?

Forget the PM, it's a little bit wrong.

Basically you have to use a pre-compiled snapshot or whatever. I think I got it to work with 1.1rcsomething. Basic setup:

1. Install Linux emulation: cd /usr/ports/emulators/redhat && make && make install
2. Enable Linux emulation: sudo sysctl -w kern.emul.linux=1 You can edit /etc/sysctl.conf to keep this through reboots.
3. Mount Linux procfs: mount_procfs -o linux /proc /emul/linux/proc You can add the correct entries to /etc/fstab to keep it set through reboots.
4. Proceed with the OOo install.

One of these days I'll install it again. Maybe when I have an internet connection. :|

It doesn't actually install... it quits after the crash.

I'll have to try it with 3.5. I got it working with a snapshot at some point.
