I am planning to remove the 3rd party components which are used by the
report builder extension as they are licensed under LGPL.
This will have the effect that the report builder will not work
anymore.
Thus, I have got in mind to disable its building without touching any
code of it.
You don't need to do that as by default the report builder isn't
built. :-)
I know ;-)
But, I wanted to assure that nobody uses the configure option to enable
the build and then fail.
Why prevent others from building Report Builder?
We don't build the JFree Report stuff anyway, to build the Report
Builder you have to provide the pre-built jars. Currently they are
pulled automatically from ext_src, but we could change that to pulling
it from "external" like other stuff and throw errors in case the jars
aren't there and the switch for building Report Builder is used. So
someone who wants to build it just needs to copy the jars to
external/jfreereport or so.
I am not simply removing the --enable-report-builder configure option.
The configure script already has a --with-system-jfreereport option
together with certain --with-...-jar options in order to build the
report builder extension with system's jars.
Thus, I kept the --enable-report-builder option, but removed the
--with-system-jfreereport option in order to build _only_ with system's
jars.
Unfortunately, my patch was not fully functional - but an improvement is
in progress. This improvement more or less corrects the existing stuff
regarding usage of system's jars for jfreereport.
I have finished the improvement - or better the correction.
Now, it should be possible to build the Report Builder extension with
jars available in the system.
To do so, the following (already existing) configure options have to be
used:
--enable-report-builder
--with-sac-jar=JARFILE
--with-libxml-jar=JARFILE
--with-flute-jar=JARFILE
--with-jfreereport-jar=JARFILE
--with-liblayout-jar=JARFILE
--with-libloader-jar=JARFILE
--with-libloader-jar=JARFILE
--with-libformula-jar=JARFILE
--with-librepository-jar=JARFILE
--with-libfonts-jar=JARFILE
--with-libserializer-jar=JARFILE
--with-libbase-jar=JARFILE
I have reactivated environment variable SYSTEM_JFREEREPORT. It can not
be used via a configure option, but is by default set to "YES", if
configure option --enable-report-builder is used.
Thanks again for reporting the defect in my contribution.
Again, feedback is welcome.
Best regards, Oliver.
