I see. Thank you for the information.
The main purpose for what I have to install OpenOffice on a Sparc-Solaris2.8
machine, is that there are some teams that require this, and they
want to use this tool on this architecture ( Sparc-Solaris2.8 ).
Well...
So, you suggest me:
That's a way for OpenOffice.org 2.4.3, not for 3.3.0.
As I mentioned in my previous mail like this
BTW, http://www.openoffice.org/dev_docs/source/sys_reqs.html says
OpenOffice.org 3 ... Solaris 10 OS or higher
OpenOffice.org 2 ... Solaris 8 OS or higher
OpenOffice.org 2.4.3 is available at "Archive" mirror servers.
http://distribution.openoffice.org/mirrors/
You could install files of OpenOffice.org 3.3.0 into any version of Solaris
machine.
The requirements
OpenOffice.org 3 ... Solaris 10 OS or higher
implies that the installation binary file is complied on a Solairs 10 machine.
The compiler on the machine had linked files with /lib/libc.so.1 of Solaris
10.
Consequently, when you try to start OpenOffice.org 3.3.0 on their Solaris 2.8
machine,
you would be notified with an error message produced by ld.so far before a
process of OpenOffice.org starts.
Version incompatible or things like that.
Do they really need OpenOffice.org 3.3.0?
If so, ...

says ...
Solaris Sparc Solaris 10 and newer Sun Studio 12 / C++-5.9 patch level
Dec. 08
I have no idea about whether Sun Studio 12 can be installed into Solaris 2.8.
Let me see...
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E19205-01/820-0273/6nc1a9dj2/index.html#gempq
says
Operating system Solaris 9 or Solaris10 1/06
Sigh, downgrading version of compiler, i.e. Sun Studio 12 to a prior one, is
not recommended in case of when we try to compile source code of OpenOffice.org
which has already migrated from the previous version of compiler to a new one.
Well, I am sorry, there is little hope.
Anyway, I would say...
1) install OpenOffice.org 3.3.0 into the default directory, /opt, using
"setup" first and confirm if it works on a Solaris 2.8 machine.
2) install OpenOffice.org 2.4.3 in the same way.
http://ftp.rz.tu-bs.de/pub/mirror/openoffice-archive/stable/2.4.3/
- to untar the archive
$ gunzip -c /opt/swe/install/OOOo_3.3.0_Solaris_Sparc_install-wJRE_fr.tar.gz |
tar xvf -
- go in the directory ... /packages , that appear after I have dezarchivate the
archive
$ cd ..../packages
- this step I don't understand very well what it is doing ??
$ perl -pe 's/ask/nocheck/' /var/sadm/install/admin/default> /tmp/nocheck
It's a simple magic. Without this or -a option, you will be prompted with Yes/No each
time the packadd command tries to process a package. Actually, "setup" creates
this type of file by itself and use in a similar way.
- and then create the directory where I want the tool to be install ?
# mkdir /alternative
I think so.
- and then give this command:
# pkgadd -R /alternative -a /tmp/nocheck -d . openofficeorg-core
openofficeorg-[^0-9]
Please find what packages are there. A package on Solaris -- Linux equivalent
is a well-known RPM -- is normally a directory. A name of directory is usually
the same as a name of package.
You would need to place name of packages from left to right following the
package dependency.
But before this command I don't need to run ./setup command ?
Or this command "pkgadd " will make the installation of openOffice in "/alternative "
location without giving "./setup" before?
What "setup" will do is to automatically kick a sequence of "pkgadd" commands
one by one.
You can do it by hand with fine tuning options, instead.
Best regards,
Tora
