Add libreoffice patch to fix build failures with poppler-22.04.0

[Douglas R. Reno]

This ticket is a reminder to add the poppler-22.04.0 patch for Libreoffice - see ​https://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/sympa/arc/blfs-dev/2022-04/msg00043.html and ​https://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/sympa/arc/blfs-dev/2022-04/msg00042.html

I mailed Marty off-list, he did create the patch himself but it only works with poppler-22.04, anyone who is trying to build current LO on older poppler will find it doesn't work.

I spent some time trying to get it suitable for upstream - in theory (according to my understanding) that just means formatting the changes as

#if POPPLER_CHECK_VERSION(22, 4, 0)

(do new version)

#else

(do current version with code for 22.03 and earlier)

#endif

but I think I did that correctly and ended up with a different error on the first item ! Still mulling it over, no ideas at the moment.

That's not exactly accurate. If you are trying to build LO against older poppler you simply don't apply that patch.

There is a patch at freebsd (similar to Marty's, but with the #if): ​https://cgit.freebsd.org/ports/commit/?id=d9b5ef800dbd0366eae81b03bfa89689ec73c6f7 Note that it also includes the fix for 22.03. Will try it.

I am waiting for a new release from upstream. It should be available any day now.

[pierre]

I checked the libreoffice development repository, and none of those patches are there...

[Bruce Dubbs]

OK. If you want to add the patches, go ahead. I'll note that we get releases from

​https://download.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/src/

And there is 7.3.3/libreoffice-7.3.3.2.tar.xz as of 29-Apr-2022, but we check for

​https://download.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/stable/

and 7.3.2 is still listed there. 7.3.3 is also in testing/.

The sed for bison is not needed anymore

There is a problem with java-18: it fails to build libreoffice java part...

[pierre]

Seems there is a patch upstream; ​https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=19de5d97efbb80e9767bc6b873bcc2c263a721de

I think it is enough to export ANT_OPTS="-Djava.security.manager=allow"

But this need testing...

Alternatively the whole patch can be used

[pierre]

exporting ANT_OPTS allowed building. I think I'll be able to update libreoffice as soon as it comes out (version 7.3.3).

[pierre]

7.3.3.2 is out. This is the same md5sum as the tarball I have tested... taking this ticket together with the update one.

[pierre]

This one is fixed: commit 0370cf446d in the patches repo.
