According to StarOffice's license, you're not allowed to do that... but I
use different names on my system and found a (bad) workaround...
Compile the following C program:
- -------------------BEGIN
/*
* start_star.c - Start the StarOffice program
*/
/*
* NOTE: Edit the following #define to point to the exact location
* of the soffice script.
*/
#define STAR_OFFICE_START "/usr/local/bin/soffice &"
int main()
{
system(STAR_OFFICE_START);
return(0);
}
- ----------------------------- END
Now, after that's compiled, change the owner of the binary to the person
that installed StarOffice (user and group). Then, do this:
chmod u+x
on the binary. YOU MUST DO ALL OF THIS AS ROOT.
Now, install that program in /bin, or ~/bin, or whereever the hell you
want to put it. Make sure that all users can execute it... Voila. You
have the workaround.
