To run setup, you need to unzip the setup.zip (with the -L flag) and make all the libraries there known to the ld-linux.so. (I just added a new directory to /compat/linux/etc/ld.so.conf). Then -- run setup according to StarDivision's documentation. Before running soffice for the first time -- apply the trick described by Andre Albsmeier on http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=432982+436209+/usr/local/www/db/text/1998/freebsd-hackers/19980628.freebsd-hackers to the freshly installed lib/libosl516li.so mv libosl516li.so libosl516li.so.bak sed -e 's,/proc/%u/cmdline,/compat/linux/so,' \ < libosl516li.so.bak > libosl516li.so touch /compat/linux/so If Sun doesn't release the sources this month, I'll submit a port... -mi To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
