  <sect2 role="installation">
    <title>Installation of OpenOffice</title>

    <para>The <application>OpenOffice</application> source code is
    distributed in several tarballs.  You should extract each from the
    same top-level directory before entering the build directory.  At
    a minimum, you will need to extract the <quote>core</quote> and
    <quote>system</quote> tarballs. Note that the source directory name
    is not consistent with the tarball name and will be named
    <filename class='directory'>OOO320_m19</filename>.</para>

    <para>It is possible to build with a system-installed
    <application>Mozilla</application>, however, it requires a very intrusive
    patch, and is version specific.  Additionally, you'll need to build against
    <xref linkend="seamonkey"/> or <xref linkend="thunderbird"/> for full
    LDAP and address book functionality.  Instead, use the in-tree
    <application>Seamonkey</application> build.  Copy the tarball into
    the source tree with the following command:</para>

<screen><userinput>cp ../seamonkey-1.1.14-source.tar.bz2 moz/download/</userinput></screen>

    <para>If you want to optimize the build, edit the appropriate makefile in
    <filename>solenv/inc/</filename> and add the desired optimization
    flags to the <envar>CFLAGSOPT</envar> variable. The makefiles are arch
    specific, for instance edit <filename>unxlngi6.mk</filename> for i686, or
    <filename>unxlngx6.mk</filename> for x86_64.  Some users have reported
    problems with <option>-fomit-frame-pointer</option>. The best option is to
    not use any custom optimizations.</para>

    <note>
      <para>Because of the complexity of the
      <application>OpenOffice</application> build system, it is not possible to
      provide generic build instructions for all systems.  You should review
      the output of <command>configure --help</command> and take advantage of
      any system installed programs and libraries available using the
      <parameter>--enable-*</parameter>, <parameter>--disable-*</parameter>,
      and <parameter>--with-system-*</parameter> parameters, and provide any
      additional environment variables needed.</para>
    </note>

    <para><application>OpenOffice</application> fails to compile if
    <command>umask</command> is set to something exotic. The build can also
    fail if the <envar>LANG</envar> or <envar>LC_ALL</envar> environment
    variables are set. Use the following commands to change your
    environment accordingly:</para>

<screen><userinput>umask 0022 &amp;&amp;
unset LANG LC_ALL</userinput></screen>

    <para>Install <application>OpenOffice</application> by running the
    following commands:</para>
