Here is two patches for libreoffice, both are changes of the configure flags
in the definition.

First is a change according to a comment. I started looking at these because
I wanted to check digital signatures and NSS was needed. Not sure NPAPI is
needed for NSS, but it is now enabled as per the old comment.

Second is enabling gtk2. This fixes bug#30642 for me. I think this is
because I'm not using gnome and therefore libreoffice can't find what it
needs. But Idk.

Filechooser dialog and digital signatures work with these 2 changes here.

I suspect this doesn’t have any effect because ‘configure’ complains:

Toggle snippet (3 lines)
configure: WARNING: unrecognized options: --enable-fast-install, --enable-verbose, --with-system-npapi-headers

Are you sure digital signatures don’t work without this patch?

This is not OK because we’d rather keep using GTK+3.

Could you try the patch below and see if it fixes the FileChooser issue?

Thanks,
Ludo’.

Hi,

Seems this issue is a slow back and forth thing :)

I applied the patch and built it. The build fails before finishing with a
scheme backtrace. At first I thought it didn't finish anything, but it seems
to have finished building libreoffice because I get:

-------
Installation finished, you can now execute:
/gnu/store/hf2a8f4rca9dvw1s6ffcsrbcsp39aj83-libreoffice-5.4.6.2/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice
------

And then the most important part of the error after (I think):

------
phase `install' succeeded after 27.2 seconds
starting phase `bin-and-desktop-install'
Backtrace:
------

The backtrace points to trying to copy a file that might exist... the
following path exists in /tmp/guix-build-...libreoffice..../ - but ofcourse,
the whole path is not in the backtrace:
0 (copy-file "sysui/desktop/appstream-appdata/libreoffic…" …)


But, I can run the generated binary from the store. And the filechooser
dialog still causes libreoffice to crash:
"(soffice:9332): GLib-GIO-ERROR **: Settings schema
'org.gtk.Settings.FileChooser' is not installed "

A quick workaround which I found some time ago:

Workaround: Libreoffice options > "Libreoffice" > "general" > "Use Libreoffice dialogs".

What is the status of this patch? Do you still want it to be applied? It
seems the conversation just fizzled out.

The file chooser dialog issue is fixed since commit

Well, I think this patch #30886 [1] can be closed. The patches had
been sent on 2018 and improvements mentioned on 2019.

The initial report mentions that the patches are fixing bug #30642 [2]
which had been closed 4 years ago.

Any objection for closing?

simon
