making a new portable libreoffice

Postby robert.p.hyatt » Wed Nov 16, 2011 8:17 pm

Hello! I just tried to get the portable libreoffice to work on a webserver (I am planning on using it headlessly to convert .docx to .pdf), but I am running into a problem: some of the libraries that are assumed to be there are not on the webserver, so it it telling me that libfuse.so.2 is missing.
Can someone give me a push in the right direction on how to make a new portable libreoffice that would have more libraries included in it? I would love to share what I come up with in the end; I am just new at doing this sort of thing.

Thanks!
Robert Hyatt

AppImages require a working FUSE installation - libfuse, fusermount, /dev/fuse with proper permissions, etc.

This should be the default in most desktop distributions, but might not be available on your server. If you have root rights on your server, you can install fuse and it should work.

If you do not have root rights on your server, you could unpack the AppImage (it is an ISO file really), and use the resulting AppDir, which does not need FUSE. Just run the "AppRun" file inside the unpacked AppImage.
If you like PortableLinuxApps and the AppImage format, you might consider a donation --> Image
