<title>Installation of <application>OpenOffice</application></title>

<para>Apply the downloaded patches and, optionally, untar and move the gpc 
files:</para>

<screen><userinput><command>mv ../gpc231/* external/gpc &amp;&amp;
for p in ../openoffice-&openoffice-version;-*.patch
  do patch -Np1 -i $p
  done</command></userinput></screen>

<para>If you want to optimize the build, edit
<filename>solenv/inc/unxlngi4.mk</filename> and add the desired optimization
flags to the <envar>CFLAGSOPT</envar> variable. Some users have reported 
problems with <parameter>-fomit-frame-pointer</parameter>. The best option is 
to not use any custom optimizations. The following command removes an incorrect 
<parameter>-mcpu</parameter> option in the above file.</para>

<screen><userinput><command>sed -i "s:\-mcpu=pentiumpro::" \
    solenv/inc/unxlngi4.mk</command></userinput></screen>

<para>Configure <application>OpenOffice</application> using the following 
commands. You may build install sets for only specific languages based on your 
preferences. If a particular component is not available in the language of your 
choice, the default will be English. The following option compiles all 
available languages. If you restrict the languages, be sure to add 
<parameter>ENUS</parameter> to the list; otherwise the build fails. Also, the 
build fails when the environment variable <envar>LANG</envar> is set. Unset it 
before compiling.</para>

<screen><userinput><command>cd config_office/ &amp;&amp;
./configure --with-lang=ALL \
    --with-dict=ALL --without-fonts \
    --enable-libsn --with-system-zlib &amp;&amp;
cd ..</command></userinput></screen>

<para>Compile <application>OpenOffice</application> using the following
commands:</para>

<note><para><application>OpenOffice</application> fails to compile if 
<command>umask</command> is set to something exotic. Set 
<command>umask 0022</command> if you normally set it to 
something else.</para></note>

<screen><userinput><command>./bootstrap &amp;&amp;
bash -c "source LinuxIntelEnv.Set.sh; dmake"</command></userinput></screen>

<para>If you have downloaded localized help content <filename>tgz</filename> 
files, you will need to untar them to the appropriate directory as shown 
below and then recreate the installation set.</para>

<screen><userinput><command>cd solver/645/unxlngi4.pro/pck &amp;&amp;
for i in $(ls ../../../../../helpcontent_*_unix.tgz)
  do tar -xvzf $i
  done &amp;&amp;
cd ../../../../instsetoo &amp;&amp;
rm -rf unxlngi4.pro &amp;&amp;
cd .. &amp;&amp;
bash -c "source LinuxIntelEnv.Set.sh ; dmake"</command></userinput></screen>

<para>Install <application>OpenOffice</application> using the following
commands to install the English language set. To install a localized version,
replace the 01 with the international telephone country code for your country.
Note that when installing, <application>OpenOffice</application> needs an
<application>X</application> display, even though there is no visible
<application>X</application> window. You can use <command>Xvfb</command> if 
you are compiling on a console.</para>

<screen><userinput><command>cd instsetoo/unxlngi4.pro/01/normal &amp;&amp;
sed -i "s:^oo_home=.*:oo_home=openoffice:" install &amp;&amp;
./install --prefix=/opt &amp;&amp;
