Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Office suite for OI/Solaris

[Jonathan Adams]

LibreOffice won't support Solaris until it is painless for them to do
so ... feel free to get a copy and try to compile it yourself.

I got close recently to compiling it, and I will try again when I have
a little time to pull in an updated Git and get around any new issues
that appear.

OpenOffice does have a compiled version, but it is not on their site
... look through this mail list to find the URL to where the binaries
are.

 Hello,

 earlier this year there were rumors indicating that a current OpenOffice 
 build for Solaris was underway.
 But now (a few months later) there is still no indication of Solaris support 
 - neither on the OpenOffice nor the LibreOffice download pages :-(

 To an unbiased observer, it seems that both projects are now neglecting 
 Solaris and related distributions. This would be very sad, since without a 
 viable office suite, Solaris on the desktop is largely dead (of course it is 
 more optimized for server installations, but there are still quite a few 
 people using it as their primary desktop OS as well).

 Any news I may be missing?
 As far as I remember, there were also plans for a native LibreOffice version 
 in the OI repos - did this make any progress?

 Best regards,
 Oliver

I had found this:
http://adfinis-sygroup.ch/file-exchange-public/tag-AOO340/Apache_OpenOffice_incubating_3.4.0_Solaris_Sparc_install-arc_en-US.tar.gz

and this:
http://www.openfoundry.org/of/download_path/osscd/3.4.0-1/Apache_OpenOffice_incubating_3.4.0_Solaris_x86_install_en-US.tar.gz

The second one being for x86 will work fine under OI. But these are
not the final releases, as far as I know.
