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. Sun's Java6 is not the stable version. 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.

--with-system-libs: use libs already on system.

--with-system-zlib: use zlib already on system.

Several Makefiles have -mcpu hard coded as PentiumPro, remove this with the following sed:

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

Configure the package, adding any configuration :

cd config_office/ &&
autoreconf &&
USE_ARCH=64 CC="gcc -m64" CXX="g++ -m64" PKG_CONFIG_PATH="${PKG_CONFIG_PATH64}" \
./configure --prefix=/opt/openoffice-3.1.1 --libdir=/opt/openoffice-3.1.1/lib64 --enable-libart \
--disable-fontooo --without-fonts --with-system-stdlibs --with-system-freetype --with-system-expat \
--with-system-libxml --with-system-zlib --with-build-version=CBLFS --with-package-format=native --disable-binfilter &&
cd .. &&
umask 0022 &&
unset LANG LC_ALL

Create the Open Office make utility and set the environment variables for the build:

./bootstrap &&
source LinuxIntelEnv.Set.sh

Compile the package:

dmake

To build a single "project" as it is referred to by Open Office, enter the project's directory and execute:

build &&
deliver

Install the package:

cd instsetoo_native/unxlngx6.pro/OpenOffice/native/install/en-US/linux-2.6-x86_64/buildroot/opt &&
cp -r -v openoffice.org3 /opt/openoffice-3.1.1

Create links in your $PATH to each program in the Open Office suite:

for appl in sbase scalc sdraw simpress smath soffice spadmin swriter
do
    ln -v -sf /opt/openoffice-3.1.1/program/$appl /usr/bin/$appl
done

Install the Open Office icons:

cd ../../../../../../../../../sysui/desktop/icons &&
install -v -d /usr/share/icons/{HighContrast,hicolor,locolor} -m755 &&
cp -r -v HighContrast/*x* /usr/share/icons/HighContrast &&
cp -r -v hicolor/*x* /usr/share/icons/hicolor &&
cp -r -v locolor/*x* /usr/share/icons/locolor

If you have desktop-file-utils installed, create desktop files for each application in the Open Office suite:

install -v -d /usr/share/applications -m 755 &&
cd /opt/openoffice-3.1.1/share/xdg/ &&
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 &&
sed -i 's@bin/sprinteradmin@bin/spadmin@' printeradmin.desktop &&
cp -v *.desktop /usr/share/applications
