Whow, i discovered that home developer at openoffice.org are going to implement openoffice in cocoa and that they will release it as a universal binary... And second that it's just a matter of days to the official release.

 

And therefore i searched and found a video:

So what do you think? Is it worth a try, or even better is it a hit? For now, I'm going to find sources for downloading and will place'em here.....

 

And the Link number 1 is ....

It's not going to matter. By the time the Cocoa port is done, 10.4.1 will be irrelevant anyway. Besides, OpenOffice on X11 is useless unless you really want to run X all the time at slooow speeds. It's virtually unused. The few people who use a free suite use NeoOffice/J, and that's really out of sync with OO and still not totally native.

Hi DieselDandy,

 

Yes, Official OpenOffice.org porting project is working for a native port on Mac OS X. Currently, between 7 and 10 (approximatively) people can be considered as regular contributors (working ~ every day). All are volunteers.

 

Native port means OpenOffice.org2.0 can be built without X11 (done). It does not currently mean Cocoa look : we just have started the work, and the way will be long before it looks like a real Mac application. What is actually working is just a proof of concept, not usable. Be patient :(

 

Some words about Mactel port (the subject of that forum :-) ) :

- OpenOffice.org2.0 (X11) and OpenOffice.org1.1.5(X11) are already working using rosetta

- i386 build of 2.0 is completed with and without X11, but cannot be packaged. We hope to fix this problem soon.

 

For blahsucks : what you write is not true : OpenOffice.org2.0 is fast, even using X11, on ppc machines. As a proof, interested people can test the last devel version i provided : <ftp://ftp2.cusoo.org/cusoo/Mac-OS-X> (m138 is the last for en-US, m141 for fr, de and ja). You have to install X11 before, and it works on both Panther and Tiger.
