I have been using LibreOffice 3.50 in Exprimo 5x15 Frugal on a Netbook.

Is this PET the best way to update it to 3.64, please?

I use it daily so don't want guess wrong, use the wrong process, and break things!

Thanks!

Edoc

Just unload the 3.5 version before starting a build, should work ok. If it happens to fail you can reload the 3.5 version.

0.21 is out.

See main post

0.20 failed here, three tries.

I will try 0.21 a little later ...

Thanks!

EDIT:

BTW: Isn't GET supposed to restart when interrupted?

The GET from the PET was interrupted and just stalled.

I started a new GET and rather than picking up where it stalled it started new

No apparent joy with 0.21 in Exprimo 5x15 either.

I will try a reboot and see if it just isn't showing up.

EDIT: On reboot there was no evidence in Exprimo 5x15 of the 0.21 GET other than a couple of desktop icons out of place.

edoc, wget -c will resume with failed downloads.

edoc, there is no guarantee things will work if the download breaks and you close the shell. I use "-t 0 -c" options which means unlimited tries and continue if the download breaks.

You might be better off getting a prebuilt version, here's a link to 3.6.3 (nluug) , not the latest but still recent.

edoc,

Try version 0.17 (pemasu had some input on that one.) Be aware that the .desktop files might not work correctly as they added Unity stuff which messes them up in 3.6x series. If it does work then I have introduced a bug.

Also, running get_libreoffice from commandline might give us some useful info for debugging.

0.17 via get_libreoffice worked perfectly!

Hi I tried version 0.21 on Slacko 5.3.1 (frugal install to HD)

I got "No space left on device" error from command line.

However, personal pupsave has 554M left of 1GB

The only extra I ordered was the Danish language pack.

-Mounted File Systems-
rootfs / 45.08 % (553.5 MiB of 1007.9 MiB)
/dev/sda1 /initrd/mnt/dev_save 51.28 % (8.9 GiB of 18.3 GiB)
/dev/loop1 /initrd/pup_rw 45.08 % (553.5 MiB of 1007.9 MiB)
/dev/loop0 /initrd/pup_ro2 100.00 % (0.0 B of 121.6 MiB)
/dev/loop4 /initrd/pup_ro4 100.00 % (0.0 B of 32.5 MiB)
/dev/loop5 /initrd/pup_ro5 100.00 % (0.0 B of 27.5 MiB)
unionfs / 45.08 % (553.5 MiB of 1007.9 MiB)
shmfs /dev/shm 0.00 % (501.3 MiB of 501.3 MiB)

Any help appreciated ; -)

Hi and thanks for this much needed simplicity to get LibreOffice working with new Java update. I used 0.21 pet to get LibreOffice 3.6.5.2 on Slacko Puppy 5.3.3 frugal.

However, (1) document types are not associated with the LibreOffice programs in Rox. These would include any that LibreOffice can open, such as MS Office 2007/2010 xlsx spreadsheet files and so on.

Also, (2) if I enter scalc (for instance) the command can't be found; same for swriter, sdraw, simpress, sbase, smath or soffice.

Does not seem to create the newly released LibreOffice 4.x
