Thank you.
(special thanks to sickgut)
With 4.x and Wary 5.x Puppies, SoftMaker Office 2008 installs, but won't launch from Menu.
Dependency check shows nothing is needed.
However, launching from terminal generates gtkdialog error.
I've only tested this with one computer.
(Compaq Deskpro PII / 350MHz)
So results may vary, depending on hardware.
GTK / libs were installed all at once, followed by reboot.
Links to required packages:
deb2pet.rpm2pet-0.0.4.pet
glib-2.22.2-p4.pet
gtkdialog4-246-w5.pet
libc6_2.11.2-10_i386.deb
softmakeroffice-2008-bk.pet
This SoftMaker Office 2008 .pet can be installed either before or after dependencies are installed.
I've tested with below-listed Puppies:
Classic Pup 2.14xRC5:
* Install softmakeroffice-2008-bk.pet.
* Click Menu / Refresh menu.
Extra details in my post here.
ttuuxxx said next 2.14x (after Top9) will have glib-2.28.8.
I don't know if this will affect anything.
Puppy Linux 3.01 / 4.1.2:
(haven't tested 4.2.x; probably the same)
Must install dependencies in following order:
* Install glib-2.22.2-p4.pet.
* Install deb2pet.rpm2pet-0.0.4.pet.
* Right-click libc6_2.11.2-10_i386.deb, then left-click Convert to pet.
* Install newly created libc6_2.11.2-10_i386.pet.
* Install gtkdialog4-246-w5.pet.
* Save and reboot.
* Install softmakeroffice-2008-bk.pet.
* Click Menu / Shutdown / Restart JWM.
This might turn Puppy-Podcast-Grabber into a zombie.
("Kill" might not kill it.)
So try this: Menu / Shutdown / Restart X server.
Puppy Linux 4.3.1:
Must install dependencies in following order:
* Install libc6_2.11.2-10_i386.deb; 4.3.1 installs .debs as-is.
* Install gtkdialog4-246-w5.pet.
* Save and reboot.
* Install softmakeroffice-2008-bk.pet.
See above; same Puppy-Podcast-Grabber problem.
Wary 5.1.1:
* Install gtkdialog4-246-w5.pet.
* Save and reboot.
* Install softmakeroffice-2008-bk.pet.
