Hi,
I got OpenOffice.org 2.0.2 to work with CUPS. The install was actually
quite painless and the CUPS system was picked automatically.
The port is put together really well, thank you. If I could make one
suggestion
it would be that a Makefile.doc would be nice to have included in the
top level
directory. On my initial attempt at installation I read the Makefile
but there was
nothing in it that I recognized as telling me I needed to use WITH_CUPS or
WITH_KDE. After I read the Makefile under files however all became
clear. With
those defines everything worked without a hitch the first time.
So once again thanks and I hope my comment is useful. It is intended
with nothing
but a desire to help.
Sincerely,
--Duane
P.S.
Maho, my apologies for not attributing to you the patch I attached in my OP.
