Description mroe 2017-09-25 13:43:51 UTC

At the moment it isn't possible to test different AOO versions under Linux using simply an symlink to 'soffice' of the corresponding installation.

(I don't know when this issue came up, so I selected 3.30 or older.)

In my opinion there is a simple mistake in line 51 of 'soffice':

sd_binary=`basename "$0"`.bin

should be

sd_binary=`basename "$sd_res"`.bin



With this little change it works!

additional:

The problem occurs if the symlink isn't named 'soffice'!

Now I can easy start older installations and I found that the start script was changed between OOo 3.3 and AOO 3.4. But it was forgotten to adapt line 51.
