    <title>Installation of OpenOffice</title>

    <para>The <application>OpenOffice</application> source code is now
    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'>OOG680_m9</filename>.</para>

    <para>If you wish to build an in-tree <application>Mozilla</application>,
    as opposed to using a system wide installation, copy the
    <application>Mozilla</application> source tarball into the source
    tree:</para>

<screen><userinput>cp ../mozilla-source-1.7.5.tar.gz 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>solenv/inc/unxlngi6.mk</filename>
    for i686.  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>config_office/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.  Additionally, if
      you have installed <application>KDE</application> in the
      <filename class='directory'>/opt</filename> prefix, and would like to use the
      <parameter>--enable-kde</parameter> switch, you must set
      <command>KDEDIR=$KDE_PREFIX</command> before running
      <command>configure</command>.</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>

  <sect2 role="commands">
    <title>Command Explanations</title>

    <para><command>sed 's@..\$dist\$/configure@uudecode="no"...'</command>: 
    This command corrects a build failure if a faulty
    <command>uudecode</command> program provided by the <xref linkend="gmime"/>
    package is installed.</para>

    <para><parameter>--enable-*</parameter>: The switches listed in the
    example <command>configure</command> command above force the use of system
    installed libraries that are known to be available on a BLFS system that
    meets the required and recommended dependencies.</para>

    <para><parameter>--disable-fontooo</parameter>: Use
    <application>Fontconfig</application> instead of the FontOOo.</para>

    <para><parameter>--disable-gnome-vfs</parameter>: Disable the use of
    <application>Gnome Virtual File System</application> libraries.  Omit
    this switch if you have Gnome installed.</para>

    <para><parameter>--without-fonts</parameter>: Do not install Bitstream
    Vera fonts since they are already included in the
    <application>X</application> Window System Environment.</para>

    <para><parameter>--with{,out}-system-*</parameter>: Determines
    whether to use the system libraries and programs or to build
    the source packages included in the build tree.</para>

    <para><parameter>--without-pam</parameter>: Disable the use of
    <application>Linux-PAM</application> functions.  Omit this switch if
    <application>Linux-PAM</application> is installed.</para>

    <para><parameter>--enable-build-mozilla</parameter>: Build the in-tree
    <application>Mozilla</application> suite.</para>

    <para><parameter>--with-build-version=BLFS</parameter>: Appends
    <quote>BLFS</quote> to the end of the version string.</para>

    <para><parameter>--with-package-format=native</parameter>: This switch
    forces the build to skip the packaging process, leaving only the
    temporary installation that would be used for packaging.  This temporary
    installation is later copied directly to the final destination.</para>

    <para><parameter>--disable-binfilter</parameter>: This switch disables
    the build of legacy <application>StarOffice-5</application> import
    filters.  Omit this switch if you've downloaded the
    <application>binfilter</application> package
    above.  Warning: Installation of the legacy import filters increases the
    build time considerably.  Only install them if you have these old
    file types, and need to edit them in 
    <application>OpenOffice</application>.</para>

    <para><parameter>--disable-odk</parameter>: This switch disables the build
    of the <application>OpenOffice</application> SDK.  Omit this switch if
    you've downloaded the SDK package (and additional requirements)
    above.</para>

    <para><parameter>--disable-qadevooo</parameter>: This switch skips
    the building of the quality assurance tools used by the
    <application>OpenOffice</application> development teams.</para>

    <para>
    <parameter>--with-system-mozilla=<replaceable>&lt;type&gt;</replaceable>
    </parameter>: Enables the use of a system installed 
    <application>gecko</application> or <application>XULRunner</application>
    engine in place of the full <application>Mozilla</application> suite.
    This will disable the use of a <application>Thunderbird</application>
    address book as a data source.  If you omit the type of installation,
    <command>configure</command> defaults to and searches for a working
    <application>XULRunner</application> installation and will fail if
    one is not found.</para>

    <para><parameter>--disable-cups</parameter>: Disable the use of
    <application>CUPS</application> for printing.</para>

    <para>
    <parameter>--with-lang=<replaceable>&lt;LANG&gt;</replaceable></parameter>:
    Allows the use of additional languages in

    default.</para>

    <para>
    <parameter>--with-dict=<replaceable>&lt;LANG&gt;</replaceable></parameter>:
    Allows the use of alternate dictionaries in
    <application>OpenOffice</application>. US English (ENUS) is the
    default.</para>

    <para><parameter>--with-use-shell=bash</parameter>: Tells the 
    <application>OpenOffice</application> build system to use
    <command>bash</command> instead of <command>tcsh</command>.</para>

    <para><command>./bootstrap</command>: Build the
    <command>dmake</command> utility required to complete the
