Apps that i use on Haiku (OpenJDK)


















































hello
this question has been asked already but i’ll ask it again,
are there any instructions on how to use thinkfree office on haiku?

thanks.

I make a ThinkFree Office package based on the trial linux version. Add binary launchers instead of the shell-scripts. Add utility for registration all supported file types. Maybe it violates the license agreement, but i can’t see any way to run this program under haiku. I send mail about this problem to the ThinkFree company a month ago, but they not responded.

Nice screenshots, 3dEyes!

Might be better to make a script that repackages Thinkfree Office… so you could just run it to get the latest. And it would probably avoid license concerns.

I thought about it. It’s a good idea. I’ll try.

This script - TFO4Installer-0.1a.sh.zip:

  1. Download mac version of TFOffice from official site.
  2. Download JRE.
  3. Download my binary launchers for office.
  4. Extract required files from mac distribution
  5. Install TFOffice into /boot/apps directory
  6. Make deskbar menu links

If you want installing office offline, you must manually download this files and put them into script directory:

hello 3deyes
thanks alot for the links and the this script,but for me think office doesn’t seem to work properly,writer launches but i can’t write nor read anything tried opening a RTF doc opens a zombie blank page,and calc sucks up all my ram,but that could be because i’m using a somewhat older rev hrev:44295-gcc2-h,or maybe it’s because it’s a gcc2-h system?
but there is another office,called j-office did you try that one?

JOffice requires SWT library, which is missing in haiku port.

I tested the TFOffice in gcc2hybrid, gcc4only, gcc4hybrid - everything works. This is a very strange bug. I have seen this bug when running in a virtual machine only. I started working system with a working office via qemu in Linux (ex. qemu -m 1024 -hda /dev/sd…) . The working area is not drawn. On real hardware it works fine.

RAM size?
You can try playng with the start parameters of java. You can change the size of the heap and stack in the startup file - /boot/home/config/settings/tfo4/startup.

Important: Startup file should be only ONE line. Without NewLine at the end.

I have the same problems. Calc freezes Haiku, so that you can not do anything. You have to reset

hrev44543 gcc4h on real hardware.

The installation looks cool. Sh script and notifications beside Deskbar.

Yes I would much appreciate it if folks could test out some audio apps. Audio output works fine for me but it seems others have had issues with it. Here’s a recent build with audio support: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/61946213/j2sdk-august.tar.xz

1 GB RAM

OK. I just have to find the time to do it…
