%general-entities; ]> $LastChangedBy$ $Date$ OpenOffice OpenOffice is an office suite, the open source sibling of StarOffice. Package Information Download (HTTP): Download (FTP): Download MD5 sum: &openoffice-md5sum; Download size: &openoffice-size; Estimated disk space required: &openoffice-buildsize; Estimated build time: &openoffice-time; Additional Downloads Required patch for gcc-&gcc-version;: Required patch for use with NPTL: Required patch if compiling with JDK-&jdk-src-version;: Required patch (Executable test is in /bin, not in /usr/bin): Required patch for STLport-4.6.2: Required patch for use with glibc-2.3.4: Optional patch if you wish to use the system freetype: Optional patch if Linux-PAM-&Linux_PAM-version; is not installed: STLport-4.6.2: The source TAR ball only contains English language help. A localized help content file may be available at: OpenOffice Dependencies Required X ( or ), , , , and . Recommended , , , , , , , and . Optional and . OpenOffice does not create a directory when you extract the TAR ball. Create a build directory and extract the source with the following commands: mkdir OOo-build && cd OOo-build && tar -zxf ../OOo_&openoffice-version;_source.tar.gz Apply all of the downloaded patches: for PATCH in ../OOo_&openoffice-version;-*.patch do patch -Np1 -i ${PATCH} done Copy the STLport TAR ball into the source tree: cp ../STLport-4.6.2.tar.gz stlport/download/ STLport looks for the c++ headers in the wrong location. Put a temporary symlink in place to satisfy STLport: ln -sf /usr/include/c++/&gcc-version; /usr/g++-v3 Create a temprorary symlink to the JRE's motif libraries: ln -sf ${JAVA_HOME}/jre/lib/i?86/motif21/libmawt.so /usr/lib If you want to optimize the build, edit solenv/inc/unxlngi4.mk and add the desired optimization flags to the CFLAGSOPT variable. Some users have reported problems with -fomit-frame-pointer. The best option is to not use any custom optimizations. The following command removes an incorrect -mcpu option in the above file: sed -i "s:\-mcpu=pentiumpro::" \ solenv/inc/unxlngi4.mk Configure OpenOffice using the following commands. You may build install sets for specific languages based on your preferences. Supply a comma separated list to the --with-lang= switch. If a particular component is not available in the language of your choice, the default will be US English. If you need other languages, be sure to add ENUS to the list; otherwise the build will fail: cd config_office/ && ./configure --with-lang=ENUS \ --with-dict=ENUS --without-fonts \ --enable-libsn --with-system-zlib \ --with-system-freetype \ --with-system-curl --disable-fontooo \ --enable-libart && 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 && bash -c "source LinuxIntelEnv.Set.sh; dmake" If you have downloaded localized help content tgz files, you will need to untar them to the appropriate directory as shown below and then recreate the installation set: for i in ../helpcontent_*_unix.tgz do tar -C solver/645/unxlngi4.pro/pck -zxf $i done && rm -rf instsetoo/unxlngi4.pro && bash -c "source LinuxIntelEnv.Set.sh ; dmake" Install OpenOffice using the following commands to install the US English language set. To install a localized version, replace the 01 with the international telephone country code for your country: cd instsetoo/unxlngi4.pro/01/normal && sed -i "s:^oo_home=.*:oo_home=openoffice:" install && ./install --prefix=/opt && for appl in sagenda scalc sdraw sfax simpress slabel sletter \ smaster smath smemo soffice spadmin svcard sweb swriter do ln -v -sf /opt/openoffice/program/$appl /usr/bin/$appl done If you have installed and use KDE, there is no furthur configuration necessary. If you use Gnome, you should copy the *.desktop files to /usr/share/applications with the following commands: install -v -d /usr/share/applications -m 755 && cp -v /opt/openoffice/share/gnome/net/ooo645*.desktop \ /usr/share/applications/ && rename -v ooo645 ooo /usr/share/applications/ooo645*.desktop Finally, remove the temporary symlinks: rm /usr/g++-v3 && rm /usr/lib/libmawt.so --with-lang=ENUS: Make install set for the US English language. --with-dict=ENUS: Install dictionaries for the US English language. --enable-libart: Use libart instead of gpc for polygon clipping. --enable-libsn: Use startup-notification. --without-fonts: Do not install Bitstream Vera fonts since they are already bundled with X. --with-system-curl: Use the system installed curl. --disable-java: Do not build components that need java. --without-gpc: Do not use gpc. Removes polygon clipping capability. ./bootstrap: Create packages required to bootstrap the build. dmake: Compile the package. sed -i "s:^oo_home=...: Remove version specific installation directory. for appl in sagenda scalc sdraw sfax ...; do ...: Create links so that the package can be started from the command-line without changes to the existing path.
