z3c.recipe.openoffice zc.buildout recipe that downloads and installs OpenOffice.org z3c.recipe.openoffice ===================== This recipe download openoffice in your buildout, it can also (optional) create egg with pyuno and change the default python used by openoffice. More info about Python UNO: http://udk.openoffice.org/python/python-bridge.html We are using this to generate OpenOffice documents from zope/python Buildout configuration: ----------------------- Add this section to your buildout configuration:: [buildout] parts = ... your other parts ... openoffice ... [openoffice] recipe = z3c.recipe.openoffice This will just download and install openoffice in your buildout To create the pyuno egg add the fallowing config:: [openoffice] recipe = z3c.recipe.openoffice install-pyuno-egg = yes To also change openoffice python, add the following config:: [openoffice] recipe = z3c.recipe.openoffice install-pyuno-egg = yes hack-openoffice-python = yes By default it will fetch version OpenOffice 2.3 but you might want to install from another location or another version like this:: [openoffice] recipe = z3c.recipe.openoffice install-pyuno-egg = yes hack-openoffice-python = yes version = 2.3.1 download-url = ftp://ftp.openoffice.skynet.be/pub/ftp.openoffice.org/stable/2.3.1/OOo_2.3.1_LinuxIntel_install_en-US.tar.gz Notes: ------ For this to work an OpenOffice process need to be running in background. As this require a X server and you don't want to install a real X server in a production environment you might want to use Xvfb. Here are the lines we use to start openoffice:: $ cd myBuildout $ Xvfb :3 -ac -screen sn 800x600x16 & $ ./parts/openoffice/program/soffice "-accept=socket,host=localhost,port=2002;urp;" -display :3 & $ ./bin/instance start This recipe only works with linux at the moment To test pyuno (requires zopepy in buildout.cfg):: $ ./bin/zopepy >>> import pyuno If you get the fallowing error:: "SystemError: dynamic module not initialized properly" Do:: $ ldconfig YOURBUILDOUTFOLDER/parts/openoffice/program If you still face the same error, you might try:: $ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:"YOURBUILDOUTFOLDER/parts/openoffice/program" Be careful that the first time you will run soffice in server mode, openoffice will oblige you to pass throught a wizard run first openoffice on your normal display or copy an .openoffice2 folder in the home of the user which is running the command. This recipe requires rpm2cpio and cpio to be installed on your system.
