Haiku monthly activity report - 05/2018 (ft. LibreOffice!) | Haiku Project

Welcome to the fifth monthly report for 2018! … Yes, I know, PulkoMandy usually does these. But he’s got WebKit fixes to do, and not much spare time, so this month at least he gets a break while I cover for him.


This is a companion discussion topic for the original entry at https://www.haiku-os.org/blog/waddlesplash/2018-06-06_haiku_monthly_activity_report_-_052018/

Thanks for writing the report :slight_smile:
It’s great to see all these news from the reader perspective. Gcc7, libreoffice, new webkit, freebsd11 drivers… lots of things we have been waiting for a long time!

Could you please add some credits to the monthly report post? The LibreOffice Qt5 backend was started by Jan-Marek Glogowski and native menu support was added by Katarina “bubli” Behrens. Bubli has created a KDE5 backend on top of the Qt5 one and the screenshot in the Haiku monthly report is of the KDE5 one. Thanks.

Great work…
lots of progress there!

I did not try LibreOffice yet… anyway great to have…

Don’t forget to mention Telegram… it is working nicely on my 32- and 64bit Haiku… great app to have and it is working!
Anyone could inform the Telegram team on: “https://github.com/telegramdesktop” to anounce that Telegram is working on Haiku very well… ( I don’t have and need an Github account!)

Btw.: Any news about Godot? They look for someone who takes care of the Haiku Port!?

It feels like ‘final spurt’ …
LibreOffice, meanwhile, imports M $ data (even complex page layouts) almost as well as SoftmakerOffice! Great - thank you!
Now I miss Ancestris (it was already as 0.8: http://clasquin-johnson.co.za/michel/haiku/the-hpkg-gallery/1---a/ancestris.html#previous-photo).
The professor complains that all his java apps are ‘dead’ …

@brunobastardi. Thanks for pointing out Godot!
What about eyeCU or Voptop for Haiku (instead of Skype Win)?

Wow! LibreOffice on Haiku! Thats really great news.

Voptop is available as a beta (nightly build): https://voptop.com/#platformdownload

Any idea when LibreOffice will land in the x86_gcc2 repos?

Raptor package needs to be fixed first. See http://vmpkg.haiku-os.org/master/x86_gcc2/logviewer.html?buildruns/1383/builds/28231.log

Try to add “glib-2.0” to the requires/build requires section.
Oh, it is already there.

I would check what does pkg-config --variable=prefix glib-2.0 returns on gcc2h. Do not forget about setarch x86.

setarch x86
pkg-config --variable=prefix glib-2.0
/packages/glib2_x86-2.53.5-4/.self
