For this LibreOffice extension you need LibreOffice itself and Parlatype https://www.parlatype.xyz. Parlatype and this extension are released together and should only be used with matching versions.
LibreOffice extensions can be installed in various ways:
- oxt: A single .oxt file can be installed from within LibreOffice or from commandline. This is the default mode.
- bundled: Extension data is copied to the LibreOffice folder; this is the preferred installation method for distributions.
To build the extension from source, you need these packages:
- meson >= 0.47.2 (older versions not tested)
- gettext >= 0.19.7
- appstream (only "bundled", main package, not devel version, for metainfo.its rules)
- appstream-utils (optional; if installed, this checks the appstream file)
Runtime dependencies:
- LibreOffice
- Python script support for LibreOffice (e.g on Debian that is libreoffice-script-provider-python, on Fedora libreoffice-pyuno)
- Parlatype (same version as this extension)
bundled: install as a bundle (default: false)libreoffice-dir: base folder for LibreOffice, only for "bundled" mode (default: /usr/lib/libreoffice)
First close LibreOffice. If the extension was installed before, remove it with
$ unopkg remove Parlatype.oxt
Continue with
$ meson build
$ cd build
$ ninja
$ unopkg add Parlatype.oxt
This will install the extension for the current user only. You can remove/install it for all users as well with
$ sudo unopkg remove --shared Parlatype.oxt
[…]
$ sudo unopkg add --shared Parlatype.oxt
In this mode ninja install has no effect.
Prefix decides where AppStream Data is installed, make sure libreoffice-dir is set to your LibreOffice base folder (the one containing the folders "presets", "program", "sdk" and "shared").
$ meson build --prefix=/usr -Dbundled=true
$ cd build
$ ninja
$ ninja install
You can always add other languages.
