Ohh, another alluring package from ptitSeb. B)

Just installed it. Looks really good and starts/run faster than I thought. LibreOffice rocks!

Thanks again. :)

PS: Regarding other languages. If you make a multi-language package, please also provide a smaller english-only package.

Very nice!  Thank you.

Is there any way to make the toolbar icons smaller?   I looked through the options but have yet to find a way.

The standard GTK open/save dialogue boxes are taller than the screen on my pandora.   *makes mental note to look for a way to adjust that*   Selecting the "Use LibreOffice dialogs" option under Tools -> Options -> LibreOffice -> General, results in dialogue boxes that fit nicely on the screen.

Might I suggest adding additional 'Application' entries to the PXML so that individual applications can be launched directly?

Going to make some mean pivot tables if you understand my vernacular.. ;)
 
Opening an odt file does NOT cause it to crash like Abiword. Thank you. :)
 
Damn, Seb, you're unstoppable! Was hoping someone would have a crack at this.Only had a brief play, but seems pretty solid. I'll play around with the toolbars to see if some screen real estate can be clawed back.

Nice!
 
Very good :) You rock! Now the Pandora can be used for serious business.
 
Great.

How long does it take to compile ?

Hope it will run on Slackware ^^.

EDIT:

Argh, segfault

Code:

I assume the same trick will have to be done so it work on Slackware... I'll try that, but that will not be easy, LibreOffice store every thing inside "lib"... But I will create a libs to put the "system" libs, and change the lauch script accordingly. Also, I have to alter "soffice", the launcher, to add the LD_LIBRARY_PATH export,

If you want to try rebuild the PND yourself, just remove the libs in the lib/ folder. Thoses are the ones I added. I think libstdc++ is the one causing segfault on slack, but I'm not sure.

It took 3 full days to compile, and many gigabytes ! A huge beast. I'm adding languages now. I hope it should be done quickly, so I'll repackage "compatible slackware" I hope for build 2.
 
I'll take a look.

So java was needed ?

I was still on stable versions, so maybe java is now wiped out from 4.X.
 
Fantastic news - once again well done ptitSeb! On the subject of supported languages: personally I am happy to work with the English-only version. Maybe language support could be split in order to reduce file size; e.g. package 1: en, de, nl; package 2 fr, it, sp, pt etc.
 
GREAT.

Why did I use 30 MB of my SD for PanDebian then?.

Go for Slackware as well :D .
 
I still like the idea of making a language pack installer PND, which dumps the language files for the language you want into appdata...

Repackaged, but i got a permission error.

What is your pnd making command ?

Mine is:

chown -R root:root ./pnd/
find ./pnd/ \
 \( -perm 777 -o -perm 775 -o -perm 711 -o -perm 555 -o -perm 511 \) \
 -exec chmod 755 {} \; -o \
 \( -perm 666 -o -perm 664 -o -perm 600 -o -perm 444 -o -perm 440 -o -perm 400 \) \
 -exec chmod 644 {} \;
 

pnd_make.sh -p libreoffice-slackware.pnd -d pnd/ -x pnd/PXML.xml -i pnd/icon.png
