With relatively small amount of hackery, the StarOffice51 for Linux can
be forced to run on FreeBSD. Both, the setup and the office itself.
To run setup, you need to unzip the setup.zip (with the -L flag) and
make all the libraries there known to the ld-linux.so. (I just added a
new directory to /compat/linux/etc/ld.so.conf).
Then -- run setup according to StarDivision's documentation.
Before running soffice for the first time -- apply the trick described
by Andre Albsmeier on
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=432982+436209+/usr/local/www/db/text/1998/freebsd-hackers/19980628.freebsd-hackers
to the freshly installed lib/libosl516li.so
mv libosl516li.so libosl516li.so.bak
sed -e 's,/proc/%u/cmdline,/compat/linux/so,' \
< libosl516li.so.bak > libosl516li.so
touch /compat/linux/so
If Sun doesn't release the sources this month, I'll submit a port...
