Dear Folks, Finally success!
I checked out the 1.9m96 sources from CVS, and more or less followed Eric's build instructions, applying the patches he referred to, applying Maho's patches for 1.9m96, and using Florian's pre-built Mozilla binaries etc. I built with Xcode v1.5, X11 SDK, Java JDK v1.4.2_03, Mac OS X 10.3.9. I just went and rechecked the build instructions on the web site, and I see they were updated from the original that I downloaded and used. BUT both documents have the same modification date of 4/14/05. Eric, did you modify the instructions twice that day, or did you forget to update the modification date? Here is the configure command I used : ./configure --with-x --with-jdk-home=/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Home/ --with-ant-home=/usr/local/ant/ --disable-gtk --with-freetype2=/usr/X11R6/include/ --with-epm=internal --with-mozilla --disable-gnome-vfs I ran into 2 minor problems : 1) I accidentally applied both Maho's old (patch-vcl+source+app+svdata.cxx) and new (gslpatches patch-gslpatches) patches for #i42778#, and 'patch' got confused, so I had to manually fix the file - hopefully I fixed it correctly. 2) There is a problem with Eric's patch for the freetype2 test (scp2_source_ooo_file_library_ooo_scp.patch). I don't know if it is needed any more. But more importantly the patch is not syntactically valid (and in theory wouldn't be executed even if it was valid, in 1.9m96), and causes a build problem if applied to 1.9m96. In the end, I just undid the patch and used the original code - maybe I will have a problem with FreeType when I try to run OOo. But at least it builds now. Eric, you could please review this patch, and either update it, or remove it from your iDisk. The build completed successfully, and after a bit of digging I found the Mac OS X Installer packages that were created. A question - I installed Florian's createMetaPackage.sh script as per the instructions, but no ".mpkg" was created - is the createMetaPackage.sh script supposed to be executed automatically as part of the build process, or should I execute it manually (which sort of defeats the point of installing the script in a specific location)? I guess I need to come up to speed with the OOo native installation stuff - would it be possible to automatically build one large Installer package, rather than the many pieces we have now, if we so choose? Since there was no ".mpkg" created, I haven't tried to install the build yet. One of the things missing from the build instructions are where to find the finished results, and how things should be installed. I have some corrections to the build instructions that I will send to Eric or the list (if preferred). I will try installing and testing next... Thanks for all the help.
