[Slackbuilds-users] [libreoffice] The lack of symlinks loxxx prevent opening of documents with Xfe

[Sebastien BALLET]

Hello,

It seems you didn't applied the patch I sent properly. The symlinks are
created in / instead of /usr/bin :

$ cat /tmp/SBo/package-libreoffice/install/doinst.sh|grep lo[a-z]
( cd . ; rm -rf loimpress )
( cd . ; ln -sf ../../opt/libreoffice5.4/program/simpress loimpress )
( cd . ; rm -rf lowriter )
( cd . ; ln -sf ../../opt/libreoffice5.4/program/swriter lowriter )
( cd . ; rm -rf lomath )
( cd . ; ln -sf ../../opt/libreoffice5.4/program/smath lomath )
( cd . ; rm -rf lodraw )
( cd . ; ln -sf ../../opt/libreoffice5.4/program/sdraw lodraw )
( cd . ; rm -rf localc )
( cd . ; ln -sf ../../opt/libreoffice5.4/program/scalc localc )
( cd . ; rm -rf lobase )
( cd . ; ln -sf ../../opt/libreoffice5.4/program/sbase lobase )

That's because you put the commands 'ln ...' after the command 'cd -' :

$ grep -A 7 -B 10 Xfe libreoffice.SlackBuild

# Create symlinks in /usr/bin to actual binaries
cd $PKG/usr/bin
  for FILE in \
    sbase scalc sdraw simpress smath soffice swriter unopkg ; do
      rm -f $FILE
      ln -sf ../../opt/libreoffice$SRCSHORT/program/$FILE $FILE ;
  done
*cd -* # <=== Error: This should be run after the ln commands below

# The symlinks below are required to (directly) open documents
# supported by libreoffice with Xfe file manager.
ln -sf ../../opt/libreoffice$SRCSHORT/program/sbase    lobase
ln -sf ../../opt/libreoffice$SRCSHORT/program/scalc    localc
ln -sf ../../opt/libreoffice$SRCSHORT/program/sdraw    lodraw
ln -sf ../../opt/libreoffice$SRCSHORT/program/simpress loimpress
ln -sf ../../opt/libreoffice$SRCSHORT/program/smath    lomath
ln -sf ../../opt/libreoffice$SRCSHORT/program/swriter  lowriter
