[blfs-support] libreoffice-4.2.2, java, jdbc and postgresql questions

2014-04-12 Thread lux-integ
Greetings,

I have never used LibreOffice  ( I m still stuck wiht an old  BLFS build with 
openoffice-3.something  )  I am about to upgrade to  libreoffice-4.2.2
 (  http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/xsoft/libreoffice.html  )

I noticed  the above blfs recipe has these switches

--disable-postgresql-sdbc   \
 --without-java

I use openoffice   connected to postgresql database  via jdbc.   

I would  like to know if  java and  jdbc   connectors are problems for 
libreOffice and if  not what is the best metnod for  compiling libreoffice so 
that java (Openjdk7 ) and latest versions of posrgresql-jdbc are supported.

The above link also  recommendscompiling  for postgresql support with the 
--with-system-postgresql switch My 'system' posrgresql   is in /usr/local,  
so  is there a way of setting pgsql's   absolute path  for libreOffice to 
find?

Thanks in advance

sincerely
luxInteg

 From memory, postgresql and java are among the default options.
Most BLFS users probably don't build either of them, or want them.

 As to your other questions, I have no idea.  For postgresql in
/usr/local I would expect it to be found [ and if you had different
versions in /usr and /usr/local I would expect the version in
/usr/local to be used ], but LO is a very long compile, even with
-j4, and my guesses might not match what it really does.  So if you
don't get definitive answers you should expect to try to build it
several times, and to log the builds so that you can find the first
error message if it does fail.
