Parlatype LibreOffice Extension

For this LibreOffice extension you need LibreOffice itself and Parlatype https://www.parlatype.xyz. Parlatype and this extension are released together and should only be used with matching versions.

Installation methods

LibreOffice extensions can be installed in various ways:

• oxt: A single .oxt file can be installed from within LibreOffice or from commandline. This is the default mode.
• bundled: Extension data is copied to the LibreOffice folder; this is the preferred installation method for distributions.

Build from source

Dependencies

To build the extension from source, you need these packages:

• meson >= 0.47.2 (older versions not tested)
• gettext >= 0.19.7
• appstream (only "bundled", main package, not devel version, for metainfo.its rules)
• appstream-utils (optional; if installed, this checks the appstream file)

Runtime dependencies:

• LibreOffice
• Python script support for LibreOffice (e.g on Debian that is libreoffice-script-provider-python, on Fedora libreoffice-pyuno)
• Parlatype (same version as this extension)

Configure options

• bundled: install as a bundle (default: false)
• libreoffice-dir: base folder for LibreOffice, only for "bundled" mode (default: /usr/lib/libreoffice)

Build as .oxt

First close LibreOffice. If the extension was installed before, remove it with

$ unopkg remove Parlatype.oxt

Continue with

$ meson build
$ cd build
$ ninja
$ unopkg add Parlatype.oxt

This will install the extension for the current user only. You can remove/install it for all users as well with

$ sudo unopkg remove --shared Parlatype.oxt
[…]
$ sudo unopkg add --shared Parlatype.oxt

In this mode ninja install has no effect.

Build as a bundle

Prefix decides where AppStream Data is installed, make sure libreoffice-dir is set to your LibreOffice base folder (the one containing the folders "presets", "program", "sdk" and "shared").

$ meson build --prefix=/usr -Dbundled=true
$ cd build
$ ninja
$ ninja install
