I tried searching thru' the forums/mailing lists of openoffice.org, I don't see any thread that is related to compiling openoffice. All the threads I see on openoffice.org are related to installing and setting up binary versions !
Fortunately enough, I stumbled upon a page on openoffice.org that briefly summarizes the build process. From there I learned that, the build process outputs all binaries, libs, includes etc. to the directory solver. When I look into the directory solver/680/unxlngi6.pro, I do see several directories - bin, lib, inc, rdb, res etc. Thses in turn hold the libs and binaries etc. Now, I know where the finished product lies. What I'm mused over is - do I copy these directories to /opt/OpenOffice2 and presume this is the right way to do. ? The page in question - http://tools.openoffice.org/background.html - explains that if one changes to the directory instsetoo_native and runs 'build --all', the build script will build all the modules and delivers them. I couldn't figure out where it delivers !!? I were wondering if I run this 'build -all' would it result in rebuilding the entire tree or would it behave like a standard make, I mean traverse thru' directoried and find that all the targets have been made and only deliver the package to wherever it delivers ? I wouldn't want to rebuild the entire tree again after having spent three days int just this one !! Can someone do me a favour by mailing me a file that contains a list of the files (with qualified paths) that will be installed to the destination. A simple 'find /opt/openoffice' should do it. Also, I would appreciate if someone could confirm if all the programs that are installed namingly, scalc, sdraw, simpress, smath, soffice and swriter actually are shell scripts and not elf binaries ! (spadmin - Not found. But I do see an elf binary named spadmin.bin) Thanks for any help that would come along.
