    <para>Apply all of the downloaded patches:</para>

<screen><userinput>for PATCH in ../OOo_&openoffice-version;-*.patch
    do patch -Np1 -i ${PATCH}

    <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. The following command removes an incorrect
    <option>-mcpu</option> option in several of the makefiles:</para>

<screen><userinput>sed -i '/^ARCH_FLAGS\*=/d' solenv/inc/unx{lngi{4,5,6},fbsdi}.mk</userinput></screen>

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

    <warning><para>Do not use the <parameter>--with-system-db</parameter>
    switch.  The <application>BerkeleyDB</application> that is installed with
    LFS is too new for this version of
    <application>OpenOffice</application>.</para></warning>

<screen><userinput>cd config_office/ &amp;&amp;

    <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

<screen><userinput>./bootstrap &amp;&amp;
. LinuxIntelEnv.Set.sh &amp;&amp;
dmake</userinput></screen>

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

    <para>Install <application>OpenOffice</application> as the

    following commands:</para>

<screen role="root"><userinput>cd instsetoo_native/unxlngi6.pro/OpenOffice/\

cp -r -v openoffice.org2.0 /opt/openoffice-&openoffice-version;</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

    <para>The icons are not installed by default.  While still the

    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 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"/> and use
    <application>KDE</application>, there is no further configuration
    necessary.  If you use <application>Gnome</application>, 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;

    <para>Finally, if you'd like to edit <application>OpenOffice</application>
    documents directly from <application>Mozilla</application> or
    <application>Firefox</application>, 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>
