SUMMARY

OpenOffice 2.0 is not supported on Mac OS X 10.1, as confirmed by user discussions. Users on Mac OS X 10.4.3 can run OpenOffice, but those on 10.1 must compile the source code independently. The recommended resource for compiling OpenOffice on Mac is the guide available at http://porting.openoffice.org/mac/build_680_X11.html. This process requires familiarity with source code compilation, which is not covered in standard support forums.

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with source code compilation
  • Basic understanding of Mac OS X operating systems
  • Knowledge of OpenOffice.org architecture
  • Experience with terminal commands on Mac
NEXT STEPS
  • Research how to compile source code on Mac OS X
  • Learn about OpenOffice.org build processes
  • Explore dependencies required for OpenOffice compilation
  • Investigate alternative office suites compatible with Mac OS X 10.1
USEFUL FOR

Mac users on OS X 10.1, developers interested in compiling software, and anyone looking to run OpenOffice on unsupported systems.

I can't run open office 2.0 on my OS 10.4.3 mac because of the following problem:
· Is Mac OS X 10.1 supported?
This installer does not support Mac OS X 10.1. OpenOffice.org may run on 10.1 systems, but you will need to obtain and compile the source code for yourself. This is outside the scope of this readme and the regular online support forums.
Can anyone suggest to me how this is done? Thanks
