Building OpenOffice.org from Source (Notes)

By Tiago Moreira | Published: 2009/02/11

I lost some of my previous entries, but below are some notes I made while going about compiling OpenOffice.org for the first time(s). In the following notes, I usually use “==” or “Tiago” or “TJ” as markers to myself. I wish I could highlight those markers, but they are there!

Configuration Errors

to time stuff for builds, you can just use the time command in front of the command to see how long it took

needed to install:
tcsh
then java-1.6.0-openjdk-devel.x86_64
then gperf.x86_64 0:3.0.3-4.fc9

TCSH installed from yum

JAVA ERROR:
checking for javac... no
configure: error: javac not found set with_jdk_home

GPERF ERROR:
checking for gperf... no
configure: error: gperf not found but needed. Install it.

MINGW ERROR:
checking for external/unowinreg/unowinreg.dll... configure: WARNING: not found, will be cross-built using mingw32
configure: error: for rebuilding unowinreg.dll you need the mingw32 C++ compiler.
         Specify mingw32 g++ executable name with --with-mingwin.
         Or use prebuilt one from http://tools.openoffice.org/unowinreg_prebuild/680/ and
         put it into external/unowinreg

to fix this: cd into /DEV300_m39/external/unowinreg
and then wget http://tools.openoffice.org/unowinreg_prebuild/680/unowinreg.dll

ERROR AROUND MOZILLA
checking which LDAP SDK to use... Netscape/Mozilla

checking for toolkit mozilla should use... gtk2
checking whether to build Mozilla... yes
checking for mozilla-source-1.7.5.tar.gz... not found
checking for mozilla-source-1.7.5.tar.bz2... not found

The archives can be found here:

TIAGO: this problem could actually be resolved by using pre-built binaries or the --disable-build-mozilla configure command
check out this site: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Build_Software_Requirements

download into directory <$SRC_ROOT/moz/zipped>

http://tools.openoffice.org/moz_prebuild/680/LINUXGCCIlib.zip

http://tools.openoffice.org/moz_prebuild/680/LINUXGCCIruntime.zip

had to rename files:
LINUXGCCIinc.zip
LINUXGCCIlib.zip
LINUXGCCIruntime.zip
**to:
LINUXGCCXinc.zip
LINUXGCCXlib.zip
LINUXGCCXruntime.zip

===CONFIGURE FINALLY PASSED:

when putting configure log into a text file, i received 2 warnings:
configure: WARNING: prelinked libgcc_s.so.1, enabling --with-system-stdlibs, use --without-system-stdlibs to override
Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at ./set_soenv line 1079.

** i used command: ./configure --disable-build-mozilla > tiago_configure_log.txt

Fardad's logNtimecmd command script:
#!/bin/bash
echo start time: `date` >> $1time.log
echo $1 $2 $3 $4 $5 $6 $7 $8 $9>> $1time.log
$1 $2 $3 $4 $5 $6 $7 $8 $9 >> $1output.log 2>> $1output.log
echo end time: `date` >> $1time.log

my first build started around 5:14

from Googling, I found this page: http://lists.go-oo.org/pipermail/dev-go-oo.org/2008-October/000903.html
it recommended I remove the symlink of rhino.jar. on our lab machines here, the file was located in: /usr/lib/jvm/java-openjdk/jre/lib
i just renamed the file as BACKUP and it ran until the next error:

notes from building on PC-India in CDOT

started Saturday 31 Jan 2009 past midnight

time to checkout svn co http://svn.services.openoffice.org/ooo/tags/DEV300_m41/ was 19.8 mins
source occupies 4.1GB on disk

since this is M41, the ./configure was in the SRC_ROOT, so i ran that

=TJ= didn't find tcsh, so i yum'd it
ran: yum install tcsh.x86_64

=TJ= no CUPS

checking cups/cups.h usability... no
checking cups/cups.h presence... no
checking for cups/cups.h... no
configure: error: cups/cups.h could not be found. libcupsys2-dev or cups???-devel missing?

fixed by installing: yum install cups-devel.x86_64

=TJ= missing gperf

checking for gperf... no
configure: error: gperf not found but needed. Install it.

FIX: installed it: yum install gperf

=TJ= missing unowinreg.dll

checking for external/unowinreg/unowinreg.dll... configure: WARNING: not found, will be cross-built using mingw32
configure: error: for rebuilding unowinreg.dll you need the mingw32 C++ compiler.
         Specify mingw32 g++ executable name with --with-mingwin.
         Or use prebuilt one from http://tools.openoffice.org/unowinreg_prebuild/680/ and
         put it into external/unowinreg

FIX: download it from  wget http://tools.openoffice.org/unowinreg_prebuild/680/unowinreg.dll
into the OOo/DEV300_m41/external/unowinreg folder

=TJ=

checking for mozilla-source-1.7.5.tar.gz... not found
checking for mozilla-source-1.7.5.tar.bz2... not found
configure: error: Mozilla source archive not found.
Please copy mozilla-source-1.7.5.tar.bz2 or mozilla-source-1.7.5.tar.gz to moz/download/.
The archives can be found here:

http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mozilla/releases/mozilla1.7.5/source/

FIX: download one of the 2 files:
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mozilla/releases/mozilla1.7.5/source/mozilla-source-1.7.5.tar.bz2 [29 MB]
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mozilla/releases/mozilla1.7.5/source/mozilla-source-1.7.5.tar.gz [37 MB]
I chose .tar.bz2 just because it was smaller
** cd into: OOo/DEV300_m41/moz/download
** run: wget http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mozilla/releases/mozilla1.7.5/source/mozilla-source-1.7.5.tar.bz2

=TJ= after configure completed, I ran LinuxX86-64Env.Set and also LinuxX86-64Env.Set.sh but I received a lot of errors, so i ran an instance of tcsh and re-did the >source LinuxX86-64Env.Set.sh<

=TJ= ran bootstrap and dmake was successfully built
* created screen and then ran dmake into a log file
* CMD: time dmake > KAMOTS_dmake_log.txt
