Sorry to break the original thread! I made a mistake when I initially selected the digest format on the mailing list. I could not figure out how to reply to a message in a thread when I had the digest format, so I turned it off.
Thanks for the heads up! I was not aware that the latest version of LibreOffice was also available in the backports section. With that available, it really is a breeze to install the 24.2 binary packages into a stable Bookworm base without breaking any dependencies.
Even though I had solved my problem by having recent LibreOffice 32-bit deb packages available using backports, I continued to try to figure out why I was not able to compile LibreOffice from source. It seems I was finally able to compile it, a process I documented in this very thread. Your suggestion to use the "-g1" parameter was very useful!
Just one more question. Why are the Debian packages of LibreOffice so different from the packages produced by the LO source? LO produces a bunch of libobasis* packages, while Debian does not offer a single libobasis* package, and they do not even match in name or even apparent purpose with those produced by LO source. Perhaps Debian uses LO source as a base, but also manages a custom layer to build its deb packages differently? If so, what would be the advantages of the Debian packages over the ones generated by LO source?
Thanks again for your support and attention!
