 |
|
Hi guys, i've just recently stubled upon the NWF (Native Widget Framework) project website and was wondering whether it is possible to build openoffice with it enabled through a patch since GTK support looks quite good.

 Looks cool. I hope to see a Qt version even though I'm a Gnome user. It would be great for OpenOffice.org to be able to 'drop' into either DE.

| QT support is in openoffice-ximian-1.1.55-r1 (hard masked), but what about GTK+? I've looked everywhere but there doesn't seem to be any ebuilds with GTK+ support yet. |

Yeah I've read the posts in that thread, but it's all about QT support through NWF. I want GTK+  |

| GTK NWF-support does not work as expected atm, that's why I haven't enabled it in the ebuild, not a lot we can do about that, I'm afraid... |

| Does it depend on any Ximian specific code, or can the vanilla OpenOffice source code be patched to include NWF? I'm asking since NWF is only available in the openoffice-ximain ebuild. |

To correct myself, NWF is now also enabled for GTK+ (in openoffice-ximian-1.1.55-r1) |

Excellent 
You didn't answer the other question though. Why can't it be enabled in the regular openoffice ebuild? |

BTW,
| Code: | | app-office/openoffice-ximian-1.1.55-r1 +gnome -kde -ooo-kde |
What's the USE flag the enables NWF for GTK+?
EDIT: It seems that if you don't have the ooo-kde flag set, it will use GTK+ instead of QT. |

It could, but i won't because the regular openoffice-build provides OOo as intended by the maintainers, if you want an enhanced version use openoffice-ximian |
