OpenOffice ports build... proceedure for FreeBSD 4.9

[Steven N. Fettig]

Eric (and list),

I finally got it working this morning under the following conditions:

Fresh install of FreeBSD 4.9 from the mini-ISO cd.
Install X from the sysinstall via FTP
Install Gnome from the sysinstall via FTP
cd /usr/ports/distfiles (as root)
make sure openoffice-1.1.0_1.tgz is in the distfiles directory
pkg_add -r ORbit
pkg_add -r gtk
pkg_add ./openoffice-1.1.0_1.tgz
start x / startx
type openoffice-1.1 (it is installed in /usr/local/bin)
configure at will
exit configuration
start openoffice by typing openoffice-1.1

Works for me...  If anyone has a better routine, I'd love to hear it.
