>Description:
Insufficient installation instructions for StarOffice.
>How-To-Repeat:
1. Mount StarOffice release CD-ROM on /cdrom
2. cd /usr/ports/editors/staroffice52
make install
3. Get the message:
Staroffice setup needs a running procfs and linprocfs,
which may not be activated on your system. Please read the
procfs(5) and linprocfs(5) manpages and ensure the
the following lines are in /etc/fstab:
linproc /compat/linux/proc linprocfs rw 0 0
proc /proc procfs rw 0 0
4. Note that /proc is already mounted, and mount linprocfs.
5. make install
6. Watch the port go out over the net to download an enormous
binary. Abort the build.
7. Read Makefile, note absence of comments.
8. Read make rules, discover they depend on WITH_CDROM.
9. make install -DWITH_CDROM. Wander off and let it do its
thing, missing the messages:
You will very shortly have finished a network install of StarOffice 5.2.
Once that is done exit X11 and run it again as the user that you usually use.
Then run "make install-user" and do a standard workstation install.
Change the install path to $HOME/office52. Then add $HOME/office52/ to your path.
10. Look at the end of the installation, wonder how to run the
program.
11. Search the hierarchy /usr/local/office52 and find about
120 executables. By chance find
/usr/local/office52/programs/soffice and run it.
I only found the messages from step 9 because I keep a log of
all builds. I think that other things can be improved as
well: you don't normally need to stop and restart X in order
to install StarOffice. The installation works fine if you
perform the installation fro a su'd xterm, which is the normal
case.
