Glad to see you managed to install it finally. We will be the first to agree that the current build/make install system is far from optimal. But it has grown for 10 years as part of OpenOffice.org and although we would like to change it to something more standard rather today than tomorrow, it is an incredibly huge and intertangled mess of code which is not easy to change. We welcome any help to get the build system sane, but as I said, it is not easy and cannot be fixed within a day.
libreoffice runs nice on my computer, appearently without problems, even the quickstart program too, and the program opens fast.
Good that it seems to work for you.
I dont get it compiled with the --with-lang option, because of the error what I reclaimed earlier today. So I currently have it only in english. The installer should have the possibility to compile each module (each .tar.bz2 source file) separately, specially language packages.
Yes, it should. AFAIK, and I am no expert in packaging, debian at least manages to get independent language .deb packages, so it must be possible already today.
I made a .tgz package, for the SYS distro, what very likely runs also on Slackware etc. Currently its rsync-ing to the mirror ftp://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/linux/install/sys
Great to see libO spreading.
With this, the distro changed from Oo to libO.

I hope now, that you bring forward good libO .
We'l do our best. But it is >10m lines of code and changes are not easy. Help is always welcome Sebastian
