OpenOffice.org 3.2.0 OSX (ppc)

Very good start for many of us that has a mac ppc and want to try the new openoffice 3.2.0. A great "not found page" is here for us.

Many thanks mother Sun! You could share the scripts used for compiling it. Ehm.. compiling? No, no, I don't have a day to waste.


So, I need to found an alternative way.. and there is :)

  • Download the 3.2.0 for PPC deutch version (here)
  • Drag the applications on Desktop
  • Download the 3.2.0 language pack for OSX Intel (here is en_US)
  • Launch the installer of the language pack, and select the OpenOffice.app that you have on Desktop
  • When finish, you should have OO.org localized. I have en_US as system language, so at first run it was already in english.
How it works? Simply, localization files are architecture-independent. I don't know why reference these as "Intel only", but the fact are these.

Want a linux-ppc version? Install archlinuxPPC and run

pacman -Sy openoffice-base

Have a nice day
