libreoffice (alienbob) customizing tool menu crashes
by aikempshall from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4XX5A)
The problem I'm getting is that when I run the prepackaged Alien Bob version of libreoffice (6.3.4) and follow the menu option -
Tools -> Customize -> Toolbars (tab)
then in the "Category" drop down menu I choose the option "Macros"
LibreOffice then presents the "Document Recovery" message box and crashes out.
I've also found
that if I compile libreoffice myself using Alien Bob's SlackBuild
It compiles successfully
After installing the packages I get the same crash when I run calc using Kickoff Application Launcher -> Office -> Calc
I also get the same crash when I run calc from the command line
Code:/usr/lib64/libreoffice/program/soffice --calc I DO NOT get the crash when I run Alien Bob's pre-packaged calc from the command line:
Code:/tmp/build/tmp-libreoffice/libreoffice-6.3.0.4/instdir/program/soffice --calc But I do get the crash when I run Alien Bob's pre-packaged calc from the command line
Code:/tmp/build/package-libreoffice/usr/lib64/libreoffice/program/soffice --calc
I therefor surmised that the problem is being caused by some condition in the packaging not in the compiling.
On the above basis I bisected the slackbuild and found, still early days yet, that If I hash out the following code in the libreoffice.SlackBuild, compile then install the packages I don't get the problem.
Code:# If we have any dictionaries in the $INSTDIR (this variable is set already
# by the build process), now is the time to copy them into the package:
echo "Starting split-off of dictionaries from main $PRGNAM package..."
DICTS="$(find $INSTDIR/share/extensions -name "dict-*" -type d -maxdepth 1 -mindepth 1 |rev |cut -d/ -f1 |rev |cut -d- -f2-)"
echo "Found the following dictionaries in $INSTDIR: $(echo $DICTS)"
for DICTLANG in $(cat $SRCDIR/languages.dict |grep -v "^ *#" |cut -d= -f1) ; do

It seems really bizarre that dropping the above code should stop the crash that I going to to dwell on it for a bit. Decided to post here just in case anyone had an eureka moment and be able to explain what's going on.
I will post again when I find anything else. All comments, as to what may be happening, will be gratefully received. Also any pointers on what I can do next will be welcome.
Will be a slow process as a clean install with no ccache takes about 3 hours.
