I'm building libreoffice-5.3.0.3 in
Beyond Linux® From Scratch - Version 8.0
Chapter 41. Office Programs LibreOffice-5.3.0
I wanted to see if the tests would run, so I tried compiling with the
flags --with-junit=path
and --with-hamcrest=path set in configure. The configure script could
not find either
junit4.jar or hamcrest.jar. I traced part of the problem back to the
installation of
JUnit-4.11. It appears that the last two lines of the BLFS page need
some work.
The line
cp -v hamcrest-1.3/hamcrest-core*.jar /usr/share/java/junit-4.11
should be
cp -v lib/hamcrest-core*.jar /usr/share/java/junit-4.11
because the earlier line
cp -v ../hamcrest-core-1.3{,-sources}.jar lib/
puts the hamcrest .jar files in /sources/junit4-4.11/lib rather than in
/sources/junit4-4.11/
The line
cp -v junit*/junit*.jar /usr/share/java/junit-4.11
seems to be fine. However, it appears that libreoffice is looking for
files named
junit4.jar and hamcrest.jar
in /usr/share/java. So I'm thinking that links should be created to
point to the right
places, although I'm not entirely sure of this:
ln -sfv /usr/share/java/junit-4.11/junit-4.11-SNAPSHOT.jar
/usr/share/java/junit4.jar
ln -sfv /usr/share/java/junit-4.11/hamcrest-core-1.3.jar
/usr/share/java/hamcrest.jar
Result:
root [ /usr/share/java ]# ll
total 4
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 48 Jun 3 20:31 hamcrest.jar ->
/usr/share/java/junit-4.11/hamcrest-core-1.3.jar
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jun 3 19:19 junit-4.11
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 50 Jun 3 19:59 junit4.jar ->
/usr/share/java/junit-4.11/junit-4.11-SNAPSHOT.jar
I don't know if this allows successful testing of libreoffice, since
I've successfully
compiled it --without-junit as in the BLFS book. I hesitate to run the
tests because the book says:
The instructions below will only build the package without running any
unit tests. If you
prefer to run the unit tests, replace make build-nocheck with make build
or (as a regular
user only) just make, but do not be surprised if a unit test fails right
at the end of the
build and breaks it.
How badly can running the tests break the build?
Libreoffice on Linux runs *fast* compared to on Windows7.
