Configuration Information
NOTE: If building a 64-bit version of Open Office using Sun's Java, you will need version 1.6 to complete the build successfully. It has been reported that Blackdown's current stable version of Java will successfully build Open Office.
The following are some configuration options that can be passed to Open Office. Each can be passed as an enable/disable or as a with/without option.
| --disable-ldap: disables the use of LDAP backend via Netscape/Mozilla or OpenLDAP. |
| --enable-lockdown: enables the gconf integration work in OOo. |
| --enable-libsn: enables the use of libstartup-notification. |
| --disable-mozilla: build without the mozilla provided by OO. |
| --disable-odk: disable building the office development kit. |
| --disable-qadevooo: disable building the OO.o qa testsuites. |
| --disable-fontooo: disable FontOOo; useful if using FontConfig. |
| --disable-mathmldtd: disable mathmldtd. |
| --enable-evolution2: Enable the built-in evolution 2 addressbook connectivity. |
| --disable-cups: disable cups support. |
| --disable-fontconfig: disable support for the fontconfig library. |
| --disable-gtk: disable use of the Gtk+ vclplug. |
| --disable-systray: do not build the system tray quickstarter. |
| --enable-cairo: use the Cairo canvas backend. |
| --disable-gnome-vfs: disable the use of the Gnome VFS. |
| --enable-kde: use Qt/KDE vclplug. |
| --disable-kdeab: disable the KDE address book support. |
| --disable-binfilter: do not build the legacy binary file formats filters. These filters allow use of older Start Office formats. |
| --disable-pasf: disable support for sound using portaudio/sndfile. |
| --disable-pam: disable pam support. |
| --disable-neon: disable neon and the compilation of webdav binding. |
| --with-openldap: enables the use of the OpenLDAP. |
| --with-firefox: use Firefox instead of Mozilla Suite for building. Use in conjunction with --with-system-mozilla. |
| --with-xulrunner: use XULRunner instead of Mozilla Suite for building. Use in conjunction with --with-system-mozilla. |
| --without-fonts do not build Bitstream Vera fonts. |
| --with-package-format: specify package format(s) for OOo installsets. |
| --with-system-stdlibs: use libstdc++/libgcc_s already on system. |
| --with-mozilla-version: choose which version of mozilla to use while building mozilla. Default: 1.7.5. |
| --with-mozilla-toolkit: choose which GUI toolkit to use while building mozilla components. Default: gtk2 |
| --without-myspell-dicts: do not build the myspell dictionaries. |
| --without-nas: removes nas support. |

Add a few things needed by OpenOffice
If you wish to use --with-firefox --with-system-mozilla=firefox you will need to add the following pkgconfig files. They are assuming firefox-3.5.2 and a install directory of /opt. Also firefox will need to be compiled and installed with LDAP support
cat > /usr/lib/pkgconfig/firefox-plugin.pc << "EOF"
prefix=/opt/firefox-3.5.2
exec_prefix=${prefix}
libdir=${exec_prefix}/lib

On Pure64 builds
ln -s /usr/lib/libjpeg.so /usr/lib64/libjpeg.so
Configure the package, adding any configuration options you desire: It will take some checking and testing depending on your system and package versions. This script was tested with a successful build. Build time on a 3Ghz Intel runs about 2 hours, So Enjoy!
