Hi Andre, excellent timing, I am just trying to build on my x86_64Fedora system.
Which I have almost done.... getting error. ERROR: Could not find license file LICENSE_en-US (B) in function: create_epm_header Given that it has been creating the rpms the build has completed and this is a packaging issue? I'll sort that later. Here are the things I needed to do to my vanilla Fedora installation when following your instructions. In order to get passed the configure stage I installed CPAN and then Archive:Zip and XML::Parser cups-devel pam-devel gperf Then downloaded the library from http://tools.openoffice.org/unowinreg_prebuild/680 and dumped it in external/unowinreg Installed freetype-devel, got the mozilla source from the link you mentioned and placed it in the described directory installed gtk2 Had a problem with Xaw headers so installed libXaw-devel installed bison and flex installed gconf2-devel installed gnome-vfs2-devel Whohoo configure worked. Bootstrap did its thing and grabbed some missing extensions. And created my shell file to source. LinuxX86-64-Env.Set.sh sourced the above and cd'ed to instsetoo_native (slight typo in your instructions - missing oo) I ran build -all P4 -- P4 which hammered my 4 cores on this i3 machine for 1 hour 20 mins before failing in building serf with a 65280 error. Installed openssl-devel to get passed that point. Failed looking for lexpat. Installed subversion-devel. That then seemed to build everything and get me to the packaging error above. Not sure if that helps with your instructions, but they sure helped me. Thank you. Now I need to find that license file and stick it in the correct spot.
