[edit] OpenOffice.org Mac OS X (X11)
[edit] Stable Release
OpenOffice.org X11 2.2.1 has been released. It runs on Panther (10.3) and Tiger (10.4) and needs X11 to run. It can be found on the 2.0 release page:
http://porting.openoffice.org/mac/download/index.html
The previous version of OpenOffice.org Mac OS X (X11) is 1.1.2, runs on Mac OS X 10.2.x, 10.3.x, and 10.4.x and is localized in English. It can be found at the download page for the OOo Mac port:
http://porting.openoffice.org/mac/ooo-osx_downloads.html
If your preferred language is not English, check with your OOo NativeLang project (e.g. fr.openoffice.org) to see if there is a version of OOo Mac OS X (X11) available in your language. These localized versions run only on Mac OS X 10.3.x or 10.4.x, but not both (or on 10.2.x).
[edit] Development Builds, Betas, and Release Candidates
Development builds of the upcoming OpenOffice.org 2.0 are available for Mac OS X. You can find the latest builds by checking the mac@porting list from OpenOffice.org. Also, the more stable beta builds will get links posted in the Trinity "developement" forums.
[edit] Getting X11 for your Mac
You can find X11 in the Applications/Utilities folder. If you do not have it installed, here is how to get it:
- If you have Mac OS X 10.3.x or 10.4.x, the X11 package is included on your Mac OS X installation CDs/DVD. It may be pre-installed on new Macs.
- Mac OS X 10.3.x: The X11User.pkg is on Disc 3 of the Mac OS X Install CD set
- Mac OS X 10.4.x: The X11User.pkg is located in the Optional Packages folder of the Mac OS X Install DVD
- If you have Mac OS X 10.3.x, you can download X11 from Apple: http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/x11formacosx.html
- This version will not work on Mac OS X 10.4.x
Important! if you upgraded from 10.3 to 10.4 and had X11 installed, you will need to manually upgrade X11 using the 10.4 DVD, as this is not a part of the standard upgrade.
- For all versions of Mac OS X there is XDarwin: http://xdarwin.org please remember Problems with FTP and Safari
- For easier installation of XDarwin, try Fink : http://fink.sourceforge.net
- To make XDarwin look more Mac-like, there is OroborOSX: http://oroborosx.sourceforge.net (You need XDarwin to use this)
[edit] Spotlight Integration
If you use Mac OS X 10.4.x, you can add Spotlight support for OpenOffice.org and OpenDocument files by downloading and installing NeoLight.
