Building OpenOffice.org
A while back, I posted a question about building openoffice.org on my computer (original post). Well, now that I have a newer computer, I'd like to know if it is capable of building OpenOffice.org. The processor is a 2.6ghz AMD Athlon X2 5000+ Brisbane (overclocks up to 3.0ghz stable), and the computer has 2gigs of DDR2-800 RAM.
Also, I'd like to know if the openoffice-base PKGBUILD has gotten any better.
NOTE: I'm not necesarily going to build the package. I just want to know if I can.

Re: Building OpenOffice.org
Should be enough RAM but still might use a bit of swap... I can't remember what the maximum usage is but I recall a successful build on a system with 2Gb. It will take a long time no matter how good your computer is.

Re: Building OpenOffice.org
I build OpenOffice.org with my Athlon64 3800+ and 1 gig RAM several times under gentoo. It takes a few hours but no problems with it. But it takes some gigs diskspace to compile.

Re: Building OpenOffice.org
Okay, thanks for the input. I think I might try building it, but I'd run the build overnight or while I'm at school.

Re: Building OpenOffice.org
Well, I tried running the build. About an hour after starting, I go in to check on it, and find this:
checking for /usr/share/java/xml-apis.jar... no
configure: error: xml-apis.jar replacement not found.
==> ERROR: Build Failed.
Aborting...Last edited by Falcata (2008-09-29 03:11:57)

Re: Building OpenOffice.org
Seems to be a missing dependecy. I'm not really sure, but you try to install xalan-java and try again. If this works you should open a bug so the maintainer can fix it.
