Petr Mladek <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|UNCONFIRMED |NEW CC| |[email protected], | |[email protected] Ever confirmed|0 |1 --- Comment #5 from Petr Mladek <[email protected]> --- The problem is that the official LibreOffice build need to work on many different Linux distributions. To achieve this target, we bundle several libraries that are not available on all systems. Of course, we can't bundle everything, so we need to use some stuff from the system, e.g. glibc, GNOME, KDE stuff. The other problem here is that the system libraries are usually backward but not forward compatible. By other words, new version of the library provides all functions from the older versions but not vice versa. Hence we need to build with older versions of the system libraries because all the used symbols will be on newer system as well. The result is that we build the official builds on rather old operating system from the GNOME2 and KDE3 times. It would be a significant effort to backport the KDE4 and GNOME3 stuff there. Nobody did it yet. The question is whether you really need to use the official LibreOffice build. Most Linux distributions, provide own LibreOffice packages. They are build from the same sources, so they should have the same functionality as the official one. The difference is that these packages are build on the particular Linux distribution, so they could enable more features that are available on the given system, including KDE4 and GNOME3 integration. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
