Re: Recommended LiveCD?
I actually used the hint to make a Live CD for each of my systems from LFS.

On another partition with LFS built in July the string is the same.

Keep going. It depends on the host system. I just ran it on a
relatively current lfs-svn and it showed no failed tests.

Re: OpenOffice 3.2.1 on x86_64

I was able to make libreoffice-3.2.99.3 build on current SVN x86.
A pity you did not mention that before :-))
I wasn't aware of the project and its story...
So I gave it a try:
mkdir /opt/src
cd /opt/src
wget
http://download.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/src/libreoffice-build-3.2.99.3.tar.gz
./autogen.sh --enable-binfilter --enable-cairo --enable-extensions
--disable-kde --disable-kde4 --disable-odk --with-git=no
--prefix=/opt/libreoffice-3.2.99.3 --sysconfdir=/etc/libreoffice
--without-junit
./download
make
bin/ooinstall /opt/libreoffice-3.2.99.3
Build was successful but did application did not start (it was
complaining about shared library libdb-4.7.so )
So I did (I might be a bit an overkill :-)):
mkdir /opt/lib/libreoffice-3.2.99.3
find /opt/src/libreoffice-build-3.2.99.3 -name *.so -exec cp -v {}
/opt/lib/libreoffice-3.2.99.3 \;
echo /opt/lib/libreoffice-3.2.99.3 /etc/ld.so.conf
ldconfig
Now everything runs smoothly (well at least the stuff I was able to test
so far!)
Thank you for the hint

Thank you for the hint I'd try and use --with-system-db in the OOo build. That's why I want the BLFS profile upstreamed so that all of those options are set in stone. IIRC, there used to be an optional configure switch...something to the effect of --extra or similar that passes extra arguments to OOo's configure script (nice if not using a build profile, but patches would still be a nightmare as we don't necessarily want all of the patches). Don't know if that is still there or not. Haven't checked out Libre since Go-oo was rolled into it.

Moving ahead. Quite well along beyond Expect build. Those first few, binutils and gcc, were remarkably challenging.

Yeah I thought about this too, there are other tools like libxml2, libxmlsec, mysql, mozilla, etc.) which could be taken from the system instead of building them along with the oo build. I just wanted to do an initial build first, to see if it would builds at all. Now I can try and optimize my build. That's why I want the BLFS profile upstreamed so that all of those options are set in stone That happening would be great!
