Instructions for getting OOoLatex to work with all components of OpenOffice 3 on a modern linux system (e.g. Ubuntu 10.04 / Lucid) -compile libemf (downloaded separately; version packaged with OOoLatex doesn't compile as-is with gcc 4.4). Might need to install libtool if not already on system. -run ldconfig to update shared library cache -compile latex2emf (downloaded separately from OOoLatex extension) -unzip OOolatex package (OOoLatex-4.0.0-beta-2-linux.oxt) and perform following edits: *Addons.xcu: replace all lines like: com.sun.star.text.TextDocument,com.sun.star.presentation.PresentationDocument with a line like: com.sun.star.text.TextDocument,com.sun.star.presentation.PresentationDocument,com.sun.star.drawing.DrawingDocument *remove libEMF under lib/ (by default, OOoLatex scripts will use this over the system library you just installed) *replace latex2emf under bin/ with the version you just compiled -rezip up package w/ command like: zip -r OOoLatex-4.0.0-beta-3-linux.oxt * -install OOolatex extension (using menu in OO) -manually add keyboard shortcut to OODraw (tools/customize) -unzip OOoLatexFonts.zip and place contents in or under /usr/local/share/fonts -rebuild font cache (sudo fc-cache -v /usr/local/share/fonts)
