LibreOffice is a productivity suite that is compatible with other major office suites, and available on a variety of platforms. It is free software and therefore free to download, use and distribute. This script builds a Slackware package from the official binary (RPM's) distributed by The Document Foundation. Everything needed by the application should be built statically into it, so there aren't any dependencies not satisfied by a normal installation. Be sure to look at the script for some optional things you can do when building. NOTE: See the separate SlackBuild script for the language packs. NOTE2: To keep LibreOffice installed concurrently with OpenOffice, run the included "open-libre-together.sh" script saved in the documentation directory of this package to patch the .desktop menu files. NOTE3: LibreOffice versions change quite often. If the version for which this script was written is no longer available, look for it at: http://download.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/stable/ It will go there after the next release. You can also try building the newer version using: # VERSION="x.y.z" ./libreoffice.SlackBuild This *might* work, but upstream has a habit of changing the naming and structure of the files, etc. between versions, so: YMMV.
