Libre Office 3.4

#21 Post by wuwei »

Henry you are absolutely right.

If you don't know how to make a pet or a sfs you just have to wait.

Or maybe not.

I have described how to get the latest Libre Office version from their website and install it to Puppy. The post is here and the details are in variante 4:

:D
What? You can't read this? Too bad.
Haha I can see your face now. But not to worry, here is the translation:

Get the unrpm pet from here
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=27067

and the newest Libre Office rpm tar.gz from here
http://www.libreoffice.org/download/

Unpack the tar.gz to /mnt/home (Linux partition) or any NTFS partition.
Inside the new Libre Office folder is a RPMS folder. Open it and open a Terminal there. Then enter into the terminal:

Code: Select all

for f in *.rpm; do unrpm $f; done
This creates a folder opt. Inside is a folder named libreoffice3.4. Move this to /mnt/home and delete the folder with the long name, where that one came from, and the tar.gz if you don't need it anymore.
Inside libreoffice3.4 is a program folder with the starters you'd need. Drag them to the desktop and you are in business.

The folder libreoffice3.4 can also go to /opt or to any NTFS partition. It won't work on a FAT partition.

And to assure you: I just did the procedure with LO 3.4 and it works!

Much success.

PS: If you can't find any icons, take these:
