| 1 | Here is what I have found thus far. I have done some functional
|
|---|
| 2 | testing but I would be grateful for your assistance in verifying
|
|---|
| 3 | and correcting. This is all referencing the 2.0.2 sources as
|
|---|
| 4 | available for download at
|
|---|
| 5 | http://download.openoffice.org/2.0.2/source.html
|
|---|
| 6 | (which is not all that easy to find from the home page).
|
|---|
| 7 |
|
|---|
| 8 | The Linux-PAM headers are documented as a required dependency
|
|---|
| 9 | on Linux, though not in a terribly obvious place.
|
|---|
| 10 | I do not address building without these headers, though you
|
|---|
| 11 | may choose to. I have no easy way to test this case at this point.
|
|---|
| 12 | It might be simplest to tar up the headers so they can be slapped
|
|---|
| 13 | into the include directory rather than patch things in the build,
|
|---|
| 14 | or give some instructions for doing this from the PAM tarball.
|
|---|

|
|---|
| 16 |
|
|---|
| 17 | There was a problem in 2.0.0 locating the NSPR headers when NSS
|
|---|
| 18 | was installed system wide. This has been corrected in 2.0.2.
|
|---|
| 19 |
|
|---|
| 20 | If using the system installed Java, ensure that JAVA_HOME is
|
|---|
| 21 | set to its location, e.g.
|
|---|
| 22 |
|
|---|
| 23 | /opt/jdk1.5.0_06
|
|---|
| 24 |
|
|---|
| 25 | Also ensure that the library directories, e.g.
|
|---|
| 26 |
|
|---|
| 27 | /opt/jdk1.5.0_06/jre/lib/i386
|
|---|
| 28 | /opt/jdk1.5.0_06/jre/lib/i386/xawt
|
|---|
| 29 |
|
|---|
| 30 | are in /etc/ld.so.conf and run ldconfig if needed. The xawt
|
|---|
| 31 | directory is needed to locate libmawt.so. The build uses the
|
|---|
| 32 | presence of a definition of JAVA_HOME to determine that the system
|
|---|
| 33 | installed Java is to be used rather than the one included in the
|
|---|
| 34 | OpenOffice distribution. I have not found a --with and --without
|
|---|
| 35 | control on this.
|
|---|
| 36 |
|
|---|
| 37 | The --with-system-db option has caused confusion. It refers not
|
|---|
| 38 | to the Java bindings of the Berkeley DB installed in LFS but to
|
|---|
| 39 | a different product written in Java named Berkeley DB Java Edition.
|
|---|
| 40 | http://www.sleepycat.com/products/bdbje.html
|
|---|
| 41 | In all probability this is not installed and the --with-system-db
|
|---|
| 42 | option should not be given.
|
|---|
| 43 |
|
|---|
| 44 | I made patches to fix the following build problems. None of the other
|
|---|
| 45 | patches in the 2.0.0 build instructions have been applied.
|
|---|
| 46 |
|
|---|
| 47 | Still a few sources fail to compile under Java 1.5 due to use of enum
|
|---|
| 48 | as an identifier. In Java 1.5, enum is a new reserved word.
|
|---|
| 49 |
|
|---|
| 50 | The --with-firefox configuration selection is not honored in the extensions
|
|---|
| 51 | build. The build accesses the potentially nonexistent mozilla-plugin.pc
|
|---|
| 52 | rather than firefox-plugin.pc. It was necessary to change the configuration
|
|---|
| 53 | system to export the --with-firefox setting in variable SYSTEM_FIREFOX
|
|---|
| 54 | (which is valid only if SYSTEM_MOZILLA is equal to YES) in order to have
|
|---|
| 55 | this accessible to the place in the build where it must be tested.
|
|---|
| 56 |
|
|---|
| 57 | The filter configuration build fails when the system Java is used. There are
|
|---|
| 58 | three problems within the makefile:
|
|---|
| 59 |
|
|---|
| 60 | The guard tests for JDK equal to gcj, rather than for any host Java
|
|---|
| 61 | system being used. The correct test is JAVA_HOME not null.
|
|---|
| 62 |
|
|---|
| 63 | An incorrect (undefined) variable is used to locate the xalan classes.
|
|---|
| 64 | The correct variable is STAR_RESOURCEPATH.
|
|---|
| 65 |
|
|---|
| 66 | The makefile fails to distinguish between setting an environment variable
|
|---|
| 67 | and setting a makefile variable, so the code that sets the makefile
|
|---|
| 68 | variable is ineffective in assisting with class resolution. Change
|
|---|
| 69 | the makefile to pass the -classpath argument instead.
|
|---|
| 70 |
|
|---|
| 71 | (In 2.0.0, this failure situation went undetected and caused the
|
|---|
| 72 | resulting build to throw an exception immediately upon startup.
|
|---|
| 73 | In 2.0.2 this situation was detected and caused a build failure.)
|
|---|
| 74 |
|
|---|
| 75 | The packaging system fails when --disable-odk is selected.
|
|---|
| 76 |
|
|---|
| 77 | This patch is still to be developed at this writing, but the required
|
|---|
| 78 | behavior is understood. Until then the --disable-odk option cannot be
|
|---|
| 79 | given.
|
|---|
| 80 |
|
|---|
| 81 | (In process of trying this I learned that their build utility dmake
|
|---|
| 82 | only supports a half dozen or so functions and findstring is not among
|
|---|
| 83 | them. Caveat if you are ever having to change something.)
|
|---|
| 84 |
|
|---|
| 85 | The slap-in-new-beanshell/configure/build/install instructions remain valid
|
|---|
| 86 | with the following modifications. The build is six hours on my system.
|
|---|
| 87 |
|
|---|
| 88 | The build result directory is changed (yet deeper!)
|
|---|
| 89 |
|
|---|
| 90 | cd instsetoo_native/unxlngi6.pro/OpenOffice/native/install/en-US/linux-2.6-intel/buildroot/opt
|
|---|
| 91 | cp -a -v openoffice.org2.0 /opt/openoffice-2.0.2
|
|---|
| 92 |
|
|---|
| 93 | I did not find the claim "If you have installed desktop-file-utils-0.10
|
|---|
| 94 | and use KDE, there is no further configuration necessary." to be true. I
|
|---|
| 95 | needed to do the by-hand .desktop file copy on a KDE system in order to have
|
|---|
| 96 | the applications appear in the menus. |
|---|
