According to Fan it is currently only built on Windows and Mac. Getting it to work on the Unixes is still work in progress. The --disable-build-mozilla option is also removed from this branch. Anyway, I suggest to focus on the release first and concentrate on branches such as this when we released AOO 4.0. So, unless I use --disable-mozilla, I'm still unable to make a full build on a recent system. Even for building trunk I'd suggest to use the prebuilt mozilla binaries. The mozilla/seamonkey source tarball is way obsoleted for many years already. The alternatives are to invest energy on a) updating the tarball to build on modern tool chains b) update the tarball and our codebase to work with newer versions c) weigh the benefits (address book) of this extremely heavy dependency vs. its drawbacks and draws the consequences: remove the moz dependency and replace the most important address book sources The branch attempts to do c) which is the most reasonable goal I think.

It seems that this still breaks in the connectivity module (even when
using --disable-build-mozilla and the above prebuilt stuff), with errors
like
.../main/connectivity/source/drivers/mozab/mozillasrc/MLdapAttributeMap.cxx:127:17:
error: cannot convert 'nsresult (nsIAbCard::*)(PRUnichar**) {aka
unsigned int (nsIAbCard::*)(short unsigned int**)}' to

(nsIAbCard::*)(const short unsigned int*)}' in initialization
dmake: Error code 1, while making
'../../../../unxlngi6.pro/slo/MLdapAttributeMap.obj'
So, unless I use --disable-mozilla, I'm still unable to make a full
build on a recent system.
This is with gcc 4.8.1 on a 32-bit system (Fedora 19).

Building in recent environments: Java 7 and Mozilla
I tried building OpenOffice on the coming Fedora 19 to see how it worked with a fairly recent set of build tools. As for STLport, I used the default choice for 32-bit systems (this uses the STLPort package from the external sources we bundle). We have two problems with the current trunk: - The hsqldb module does not build with Java 7. The patch at https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=121754 fixes it and, since this is the only part that does not build with Java 7, this should be checked and possibly integrated (the issue is set as a possible release blocker). - The moz module does not build. It can really be anything, I didn't check: one problematic line in code, an obsolete language pattern, a compiler bug... I just reconfigured with --disable-mozilla for the purpose of finishing the build. Is this something that should be investigated or are we going to get rid of this module soon? If I recall correctly, it is obsolete, unmaintained, external code.
