No support for Raspberry Pi/Debian

[Josh Leverette]

So I've got a Raspberry PI.
I would like to see GWoffice run on here -- but it doesn't run here as far as I can tell. If I could help port it to ARM/Pi I'd be fine with that. I've got a good amount of programming experience, but I only have spent a little time on ARM and I haven't spent much time compiling other people's projects. So, I might need some help.

OpenOffice is an 800 kilogram gorilla, and I don't want to install that here. I tried to compile GWoffice from the source code branch, but it has a number of dependencies that I can't figure out how to install. They may either not exist for ARM or may not be in the Debian for ARM repositories.

Can you help?

Well, you can modify the source code a bit to make it easier.
One dependency which is not really necessary is libgoa, basically you'd just have to remove every line in the main file that include "goa" ;)
The other libraries are pretty much standard, except for libgranite which is from the elementary project and libgdata, which is used for the docs management stuff.

Sorry I've been incommunicado. If I remember right, the main problems I saw with the dependencies were dealing with Gnome 3 in general... though I suppose that would prove challenging to deal with.
