I have been trying to compile and install Open Office 2.0.3 on BLFS system
using gcc-4.1.1.
The first time I tried it balked out on epm. As I have epm
installed, open office setup tried to package it with epm and epm
complained about the package name having characters other than letters
and numbers !!
I cleaned up the source tree and recompiled by specifying --disable-epm and
compiled it with in tree mozilla. It compiled successfully. Now, when I
want
to installit, I see that there's no directory named OpenOffice under
instsetoo_native/unxlngi6 !! Now at this stage I really don't know how to
proceed. BLFS doesn't use any package management system. Hence, I expected
OpenOffice build to create a directory structure and leave all the
necessary
files in there which, I could simply copy over to the destination and it
would
just wor from there !

Hi Kevin,
AFAIK for OpenOffice.org 2.0.3 there was no simple way to create
something like a tar.gz file of the product. Only packages as .deb or
.rpm for linux or .pkg for solaris were supported.
Meanwhile (SRC680 milestone m188 and newer) we seem to have what you are
loking for. In a mail to [email protected] from 10/16/2006

in src680 m188 (after integration of cws native62) packing is possible with two
new formats:
“archive” and “installed”
“archive”: The installation set is packed as zip (Windows) or tar.gz
(Non-Windows).
“installed”: You get an already installed Office product.
The key for this new kind of installation set, is the environment variable
PKGFORMAT (already supported values for PKGFORMAT are “rpm”, “pkg”, “deb”, ...).
You can set the value of PKGFORMAT to “archive” and/or “installed” in your
shell or you can use it only for the current command on the command line (for
example in “instsetoo_native/util”):
“dmake openoffice_de PKGFORMAT=installed”
Attention: The installation sets are not complete. For example the system integration is missing.
Unfortunately I do not have an idea what would be the best way foy you
to proceed as you are on (old) OOo 2.0.3. It probably is no solution to
wait until December and switch to OOo 2.1 having the new possibility, is
it? Perhaps you should ask at [EMAIL PROTECTED], there a re the experts
for this kind of questions.
