[opensuse-arm] Finding Typical openSUSE Applications for ARM computers
I hope that this mailing list is appropriate for my question. If not, I apologize for the bother. I have successfully installed openSUSE 12.3 on my Samsung Series 3 ARM Chromebook. However, I cannot find the many applications that one would expect in an openSUSE release, for example mozilla firefox, or libreoffice. I have explored the urls around http://download.opensuse.org/ports/armv7hl/distribution/12.3/ and have "googled" extensively, but could not find complete applications of the type I am seeking. Is it expected that one must locate source code for these applications and build them for oneself or are there repositories already in existence that I simply could not find? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance, Bob Bernstein -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner@opensuse.org

Firefox, Thunderbird and Libreoffice have not been compiled for ARM because of compilation errors and/or missing deps and needs to be fixed. But I agree that it would be good to have them, especially with ARM laptop. You can use other web browser for now (Epiphany or Midori for example) instead of Firefox. Guillaume
Thanks in advance,

No need to apologise, this is indeed the correct place to ask your question ;-)

Unfortunately both browsers (Firefox/Chromium), and LibreOffice are packages that require a fair amount of massaging to build correctly. They take a long time and also a lot of resources. I have a relatively recent build of Chromium including debuginfo if you want, you can grab it from here[0]
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
