It would seem that the script main script within the droplet for the Mac OS X
build of OOo2 has had a debug line that was commented out for use in testing
when a XServer was not available.
I would like to propose that this line to be expanded, to be more meaningful to
most users, to give them a explanation of why they cannot run OOo on the Mac,
and what they can do to run OOo on the Mac.
Look for "
if whichserver = "NOXSERVER" then
--display dialog "No XServer Found"
set now_running to "Skip"
end if
"
And change it to "
if whichserver = "NOXSERVER" then
display dialog "No XServer Found, to find out more click More
Info" buttons
{"Quit", "More Info"} default button "More Info" cancel button "Quit" with icon
stop
--open a file about How to install X11
set myPath to (path to me)
set aboutX11Path to POSIX path of myPath &
"Contents/Resources/AboutX11.rtf"
--display dialog aboutX11Path
--We need the quotes in the name to prevent problems with
spaces.
do shell script "open " & "\"" & aboutX11Path & "\""
set now_running to "Skip"
end if
"
In here I am also proposing to have a small document, in my minor test I used a
very basic RTF that I will attach. I simply used it from point of principle. You
can use and document type and place it anywhere in the .app bundle.
To check that the script work I renamed X11 to X11t and then ran the update
locate database script (see bottom of man locate, and remember to use root).
