Well, lets see if that can be fixed.

Please be aware that there is currently a bug affecting GCC 6.2.0-7 (and up)

< https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=841368 >

The bug may also affect other than kernel builds -- as yesterday
gcc-6.2.0-9 failed 'make' during my build of GRUB2 from git and had to
use gcc 5.x.y

Keep that in mind in your efforts to build OpenOffice 4.1.3

Ahh okay, I understand. Well I guess this is distribution specific.
My distribution files far less open bugs for them.
https://bugs.archlinux.org/?project=1%5B%5D=31=gcc

But they are puting all efforts on doing one thing right, instead 
maintaining different Packages.
So hmm, we will see. I do not think this is a compiler issue, thats only 
related to the compiler.

OK, just choose a username and we'll create an account, since, as you 
see below, it will be quite useful!



I thought there is only one build guide - the one you
mention. And this leads you to the Linux section:
https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Building_Guide_AOO/Building_on_Linux


Oops, yes we do link to it. But the page we really keep updated is the 
"Step-by-step" one, at the bottom. 
https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Building_Guide_AOO/Step_by_step 
; this possibly need some major reworking to improve readability. Feel 
free to suggest and (if you wish) to ask for an account to improve this 
yourself.



Which Versions do our build bots use? I think they should be the
reference or? ...

I am not sure if I was readable. At least you do not answer my question.


I've now seen that 
https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Building_Guide_AOO/Building_on_Linux 
mentions 4.2 as the "reference" version. As far as I know, this has no 
implications at all. Unless it is due to a compiler bugs (this is true 
for some 4.9.x versions of GCC that are included in Ubuntu, see the 
"Step-by-step" page) we want OpenOffice to be buildable on decently 
modern environments.



Should the reference gcc Version mentioned in the wikipage be the same
that is used in CentOS 5? (In my Opinion yes...)


If we do have a reference, yes it should be the one we use for building 
releases.



Which is the GCC Version that CentOS 5 is using ?


You can find this and other details about our "release" builds here:

http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/openoffice/devtools/build-scripts

So for example 4.1.2 on Linux-64 was built with GCC 4.1.2 (coincidence). 
You find this in config.log. The corresponding scripts for 4.1.3 haven't 
been updated yet.

  Andrea.

Niltze Jose,

I recently built Apache OpenOffice 4.1.3 RC prior to GA on Debian Sid
(bleeding-edge ;-) for AMD64 architecture.

I built DEB and RPM packages for Debian (and derivatives like Ubuntu)
and RedHat (and derivatives, like CentOS, Oracle Unbreakable Linux,
etc), respectively.

GCC 6 will not build the OpeonOffice suite; however, GCC 5 will
happily build the Apache professional office suite application.

Where? When you cite the wiki please always send the link, since there 
are a lot of outdated pages that are not marked as such (by the way, 
if you want to help in doing so while you go through the build you are

My appologies. I thought there is only one build guide - the one you

We build daily snapshots and releases. For daily snapshots we use what 
Infra wants to supply (usually a long-term-support Ubuntu); for 
releases we use our reference baseline (currently CentOS 5, a very old 
distribution; this guarantees that our binaries will run on all 
distributions that are the same age as CentOS 5 or later, so 
practically all Linux desktop machines in use).

reference gcc compiler (wiki - Linux entry)

[Peter Kovacs]

Hello all,


I try to build OpenOffice on my machine (yea!)

However when working through the requirements I noticed that

gcc 4.2.3 is the current reference compiler


Since I use Arch (and I expect similar for gentoo) I have GCC 6.2.1 
20160830 installed


I wonder if the release driven Distros are still 2 Versions behind, or 
does this entry need an update?
