  <sect2 role="installation">
    <title>Installation of OpenOffice</title>

    <para>Unlike other BLFS packages, <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
    direcotry.  At a minimum, you will need to extract the src and core
    tarballs. Additionally, the source direcotry name is not consistent
    with the tarball name amd will be called OOF680_m18.</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>/opt</filename> prefix, and would like to use the
    <parameter>--enable-kde</parameter> switch, you must set
    <command>KDEDIR=$KDE_PREFIX</command> before running
    configure.</para></note>

    <warning><para>Do not use the <parameter>--with-system-db</parameter>
    switch as it is known to cause build failures related to incompatibilities
    between the internal and system versions.</para></warning>

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

<screen><userinput>cd config_office/ &amp;&amp;
./configure --prefix=/opt/openoffice-&openoffice-version; \
    --enable-libart --disable-fontooo --disable-gnome-vfs \
    --without-fonts --with-system-stdlibs --without-system-jars \
    --with-system-freetype --with-system-expat --with-system-libxml \
    --with-system-zlib --enable-cairo --enable-build-mozilla \
    --with-build-version=BLFS --with-package-format=native \
    --disable-binfilter --disable-odk --disable-qadevooo \
    --with-use-shell=bash &amp;&amp;
cd ..</userinput></screen>

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

<screen><userinput>patch -Np1 -i ../OOo_&openoffice-version;-use_bin_hsqldb-1.patch &amp;&amp;
./bootstrap &amp;&amp;
. LinuxX86Env.Set.sh &amp;&amp;

    <para>This package does not come with a test suite.</para>

    <para>Install <application>OpenOffice</application> as the
    <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> user with the
    following commands:</para>

<screen role="root"><userinput>pushd instsetoo_native/unxlngi6.pro/OpenOffice/\
native/install/en-US/linux-2.6-intel/buildroot/opt &amp;&amp;
cp -r -v openoffice.org2.2 /opt/openoffice-&openoffice-version; &amp;&amp;
popd</userinput></screen>

    <para>Still as the <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem>
    user:</para>

<screen role="root"><userinput>for appl in sbase scalc sdraw simpress smath soffice spadmin swriter
do
    ln -v -sf /opt/openoffice-&openoffice-version;/program/$appl /usr/bin/$appl
done</userinput></screen>

    <para>The icons are not installed by default.  While still the
    <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> user, install the icons
    with the following commands:</para>

<screen role="root"><userinput>cd sysui/desktop/icons &amp;&amp;
install -v -d /usr/share/icons/{HighContrast,hicolor,locolor} -m755 &amp;&amp;
cp -r -v HighContrast/*x* /usr/share/icons/HighContrast &amp;&amp;
cp -r -v hicolor/*x* /usr/share/icons/hicolor &amp;&amp;
cp -r -v locolor/*x* /usr/share/icons/locolor</userinput></screen>

    <para>If you have installed <xref linkend="desktop-file-utils"/>, you
    should copy the <filename>*.desktop</filename> files to
    <filename>/usr/share/applications</filename> with the following
    commands as the <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> user:</para>

<screen role="root"><userinput>install -v -d /usr/share/applications -m 755 &amp;&amp;
cd /opt/openoffice-&openoffice-version;/share/xdg/ &amp;&amp;
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 &amp;&amp;
sed -i 's@bin/sprinteradmin@bin/spadmin@' printeradmin.desktop &amp;&amp;
cp -v *.desktop /usr/share/applications &amp;&amp;
update-desktop-database</userinput></screen>

    <para>Finally, if you'd like to edit <application>OpenOffice</application>
    documents directly from <xref linkend="seamonkey"/> or
    <xref linkend="firefox"/>, create a symbolic link in your
    plugins directory to
    <filename>/opt/openoffice-&openoffice-version;/program/libnpsoplugin.so</filename>.
    Additionally, you must enable the plugin from the
    <parameter>Internet Options</parameter> within any
    <application>OpenOffice</application> application.</para>
