You will also need "so51a_lnx_01.tar" in your /usr/ports/distfiles/directory" Point netscape to "www.hagenhomes.com/staroffice51a.tar" and save it as whatever file you want. Now untar it. Now you should make a tmp directory under /usr/compat/linux You will have to go into an x-window and su to root before typing make install. Please be aware that I cannot guarantee that it will not mess up your system. I do not think that it will. but.... Put it this way, I have not hacked makefiles for years. If you have any patches for me I would appreciate them. Also it will not uninstall itself. You will need a file in your home directory called ".sversionrc" this file must have only the following line in it. StarOffice 5.1=/usr/local/Office51 If that is were you have chosen to install it. Please also be aware that I do not feel that this port is ready for the mainstream, nor would anybody else, I'm sure. I just thought that I would make it available because of the amount of StarOffice related questions on this list in the past several days. Please excuse me if it screws up your system or does any other irreparable damage. You might want to look through the makefile before you install it.
