Thank you very much to the Todai Fink Team for bringing openoffice.org to Fink.  I successfully built it on Tiger, using XCode 2.0, and it seems to work very well.

It does take a very large amount of disk space to build though.  I probably didn't catch the peak disk space used, but near the end the build process needed over 54 GB.  I suspect that many users won't have enough disk space, and that they will waste much time compiling for nothing.

Is it possible to reduce the disk space used? It looks like most of the disk space is used to build every possible language, even though most users will only need one or two.  If it is not possible to reduce the disk space required, I wonder if it would be useful to have fink check the amount of free disk space on the build volume, and have the build process never even start if there won't be enough room.  Some users may be able to reconfigure fink to put the build directory on a different volume (I pointed mine at a volume I use for backups), but it would be nice to be told that before trying to build.

The build took over 18 hrs on a G4 Dual 1.42, so this isn't for the impatient.  The impatient might want to download the OS X openoffice.org package installers from:


It only has version m107 (the directory for m109 is there, but empty), but it is a nice installer, that puts openoffice.org beta 2 in your Applications directory.  It still uses X11, of course.

Best regards,

I, on the other hand, can claim no such success with my system setup.

With XCode 2.1, xorg, and OS 10.4.2, I get the following error in the 'epm' project:
