The makefiles are arch specific, for instance edit solenv/inc/unxlngi6.mk for i686. Some users have reported problems with . The best option is to not use any custom optimizations. The following command removes an incorrect option in several of the makefiles: sed -i '/^ARCH_FLAGS\*=/d' solenv/inc/unx{lngi{4,5,6},fbsdi}.mk If building against the system Mozilla or Firefox, a change may be required to the external headers. The following commands will make the change only if it is necessary. Mozilla: grep "xptinfo_enum_1" /usr/include/mozilla-&mozilla-version;/xpcom/xptinfo.h || \ sed -i 's@enum@enum xptinfo_enum_1@' \ /usr/include/mozilla-&mozilla-version;/xpcom/xptinfo.h Firefox: grep "xptinfo_enum_1" /usr/include/firefox-&firefox-version;/xpcom/xptinfo.h || \ sed -i 's@enum@enum xptinfo_enum_1@' \ /usr/include/firefox-&firefox-version;/xpcom/xptinfo.h Configure OpenOffice using the following commands: Because of the complexity of the OpenOffice build system, it is not possible to provide generic build instructions for all systems. You should review the output of config_office/configure --help and take advantage of any system installed programs and libraries available using the --enable, --disable, and --with-system-* parameters. cd config_office/ && ./configure --prefix=/opt/openoffice-2.0.0 \ --enable-libart --disable-fontooo --disable-gnome-vfs \ --without-fonts --with-system-stdlibs --with-system-freetype \ --with-system-expat --with-system-libxml --with-system-zlib \ --enable-build-mozilla --with-build-version=BLFS \ --with-package-format=native --disable-binfilter && cd .. OpenOffice fails to compile if umask is set to something exotic. The build can also fail if the LANG or LC_ALL environment variables are set. Use the following commands to change your environment accordingly: umask 0022 && unset LANG LC_ALL Compile OpenOffice using the following commands: ./bootstrap && . LinuxIntelEnv.Set.sh && dmake Install OpenOffice as the root user with the following commands: cd instsetoo_native/unxlngi6.pro/OpenOffice/\ install/en-US/linux-2.6-intel/buildroot/opt && cp -a -v openoffice.org2.0 /opt/openoffice-2.0.0 Still as the root user: for appl in sbase scalc sdraw simpress smath soffice spadmin swriter do ln -v -sf /opt/openoffice-2.0.0/program/$appl /usr/bin/$appl done The icons are not installed by default. While still the root user, install the icons with the following commands: cd ../../../../../../../../sysui/desktop/icons && install -v -d /usr/share/icons/{HighContrast,hicolor,locolor} -m755 && cp -a -v HighContrast/*x* /usr/share/icons/HighContrast && cp -a -v hicolor/*x* /usr/share/icons/hicolor && cp -a -v locolor/*x* /usr/share/icons/locolor If you have installed and use KDE, there is no further configuration necessary. If you use Gnome, you should copy the *.desktop files to /usr/share/applications with the following commands as the root user: install -v -d /usr/share/applications -m 755 && cd /opt/openoffice-2.0.0/share/xdg/ && for appl in *.desktop do sed -i '/Exec/d' $appl echo "Exec=/usr/bin/s`echo $appl | sed 's/.desktop//'`" >> $appl sed -i '/Icon/d' $appl echo "Icon=`echo $appl | sed 's/.desktop//'`" >> $appl done && sed -i 's@bin/sprinteradmin@bin/spadmin@' printeradmin.desktop && cp -v *.desktop /usr/share/applications Finally, if you'd like to edit OpenOffice documents directly from Mozilla or Firefox, create a symbolic link in your plugins directory to /opt/openoffice-2.0.0/program/libnpsoplugin.so. Additionally, you must enable the plugin from the Internet Options within any OpenOffice application. Command Explanations --enable-libart: This switch forces the use of libart instead of gpc for polygon clipping. --enable-libsn: This switch enables the use of startup-notification. --disable-fontooo: Use Fontconfig instead of FontOOo. --disable-gnome-vfs: Disable the use of Gnome Virtual File System libraries. Omit this switch if you have Gnome installed. --without-fonts: Do not install Bitstream Vera fonts since they are already included in X Window System Environment. --with-system-*: Use the system libraries and programs instead of building the source packages included in the build tree. --enable-build-mozilla: Build the in-tree Mozilla suite. --with-build-version=BLFS: Appends "BLFS" to the end of the version string. --with-package-format=native: This switch disables the build of RPM packages. --disable-binfilter: This switch disables the build of legacy StarOffice-5 import filters. --with-firefox: Enables the use of Firefox in place of the full Mozilla suite. This will disable the use of a Thunderbird address book as a data source. --disable-cups: Disable the use of CUPS for printing. --with-lang=[LANG]: Makes an install set for the desired language. ENUS is the default. --with-dict=[LANG]: This switch installs dictionaries for the desired languages. ENUS is the default. ./bootstrap: Build the dmake utility required to complete the build. dmake: Compile the package. for appl in *.desktop...: Edit the *.desktop files for use with a standard BLFS system.
