Hello,
Trying to compile libreoffice on 8.5 and get an autogen.sh error
;------------------------------------------------------------

checking whether g++ supports -fno-default-inline... yes
checking whether g++ supports -fno-enforce-eh-specs... yes
checking for posix_fallocate... yes

checking for java... no
checking the installed JDK... configure: error: Java not found. You

According my understanding, only
Archive-Zip-1.64, UnZip-6.0, Wget-1.20.3, Which-2.21, and Zip-3.0
are required to build libreoffice.
Furthermore, I see no reference to java/jdk with recommended or
optional list.
Seems there is no --without-jdk option..
Puzzled...
What is the detail I am overlooking?
Any hint will be welcome....
Should "Java" added to the "required" dependencies within book chapter
39?
Did you add --without-java to the ./autogen.sh options? I'll note that
if you installed the recommended apache-ant, then java was required for
that.

before my original post: Tried --without-jdk, no luck
your suggestion is a good one, --without-java allow me to go further.
My understanding of "required" seems not to be the good one.
To me required means, installing a system with the bare minimum (a
compiler), PLUS the required packages. The compilation will go on and
the package will be working (may be without all bell and whistle, but
working) .
I didn't install apache-ant (on purpose).
According my (new) understanding of the libreoffice BLFS page,
build will integrate an "old version" of apache-ant,
which must have java.
(such Java become mandatory, and autogen.sh is complaining....
To be consistent with itself, libreoffice should include and old
version of java too).
May I suggest, to change a little bit the libreoffice page
and merge "Recommended" to "required".
Such the build could be run on a real and effective dependencies list.
(a validated common ground)
In the mid time, I will try to define the minimal libreoffice
dependencies

"Recommended means that BLFS strongly suggests this package is installed
first for a clean and trouble-free build, that won't have issues either
during the build process, or at run-time. The instructions in the book
assume these packages are installed. Some changes or workarounds may be
required if these packages are not installed. "
