The configuration file bootstraprc in the OOo program directory has some configuration variables, specifically one for the path to the user profile named UserInstallation.
Here is an example of what a bootstraprc might look like on a Linux system:
[Bootstrap]
BaseInstallation=${OOO_BASE_DIR}
InstallMode=<installmode>
ProductKey=OpenOffice.org 3.4
UserInstallation=$ORIGIN/../.openoffice.org/3
[ErrorReport]
ErrorReportPort=80
ErrorReportServer=
In this example the directive UserInstallation contains a so called macro $ORIGIN that gets expanded to the absolute program path when the office starts.
The following table lists and explains all possible macros you can use in the bootstraprc file:
| Macro Name | expands to | Example (64bit Linux) |
|---|---|---|
| _OS | Name of the Operating System | Linux |
| _ARCH | Operating System Architecture | X86_64 |
| _CPPU_ENV | C++ UNO Environment | gcc3 |
| ORIGIN | Path of the program directory the soffice.bin resides in | file:///opt/misc/dev300_m92/ openoffice.org3/program |
| SYSBINDIR | see ORIGIN | see ORIGIN |
| SYSUSERCONFIG | System Configuration Directory | file:///home/sxw/.config |
| SYSUSERHOME | User Home Directory | file:///home/sxw |
