Actually, I was replying to both messages at once. :-)
I do think that my attempts at building OOo were *nearly* successful
as the build directory grew to about 3Gb during the process and, like
I said, took about 4-5 hours to get there. My host is a (quite old)
2.6Ghz P4 (400Mhz FSB) with 256M RAMBUS RAM and 512M of swap.
Well, I was successful with jdk-1.5.0_05 build from source and OOo
build. Unfortunately, the configure check is broken for BDB in
OOo-2.0.1, so I used the internal version without the db4.4 patch.
Configure couldn't determine the version string, but I don't imagine
that'll be difficult to fix. For patching, I used the patches that had
not been applied upstream from the original blfs patchset, and then two
additional jdk-1.5 changes. I don't know how the xalan stuff got back
into xmlhelp, but it hasn't been needed for a while, so just remove the
imports there...and then also xmlhelp, three enums (changed to
uenum...doesn't really matter what you call them).
This was on slightly modified udev_update branch with en_US-UTF8 and
Xorg-6.9.0. Had the minimum requirements for OOo with added python,
startup-notification, and cups. I'm restoring my clean system now to
start on Xorg-7.0.
Whoops. I forgot to mention Firefox and system nspr/nss. I did have to
symlink the include dirs for nspr and nss into the firefox include dir
with the current xmlsec-nomoz patch. I'm not suggesting that, or
anything similar for the book. I'll be changing the configure check to
use pkg-config variables, shortly after I work out an xorg7 build.
It'll be interesting, however, to see if any other packages that use
nspr will make assumptions like that about where to find the headers.
Randy, I haven't caught up on -book yet, just marked everything read.
Have you already fixed anything like that already?
