OpenOffice2 - the final attemp

Snowman · 2006-06-05 23:38:56

Sun's java is 32 bits (at least Arch uses precompiled binaries). You could try with gcc-gcj but I recall JGC saying that it wasn't working with gnu's java.

hussam · 2006-06-05 23:45:08

Snowman, I will try to compile this tomorrow night with gcj 4.1.1
For now, it compiles every time correctly with jdk.

AndyRTR · 2006-06-06 10:54:46

x86_64 is still too tricky to compile. I'll keep trying it from time to time. Others may help me. For now I'm happy to see that the OOo devs start to offer (inofficial) install rpms: http://ftp.linux.cz/pub/localization/Op … devel/680/

I will build rpm based packages to see if they are usable now. I wonder why these builds and sources are nowhere else hosted on the official mirrors

hussam · 2006-06-06 16:42:05

added links for patches and fixed shortcut installation

Edit:.
moved to aur. http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?d … =1&ID=5813

Btw: Those who use arch64 and need OpenOffice:

It no big deal to use the package from arch32. You only need some libaries from arch32. I installed Arch in a directory using archbootstrap and added the libary-paths to ldconfig. Now I was able to run OO in 32Bit-mode. (this also works for Opera with Flashplugin etc.)

some java/gcc geeks here around to help?

jakob · 2006-07-17 18:38:27

If I may ask a question: Of what use is it tu complie OpenOffice from Source for x86? Or are we compiling it here for i686? Can't see any --configure-switches doing that. Including Java makes it the same as the precompiled version, doesn't it?

hussam · 2006-07-18 01:00:12

jakob, It is mainly the same. However AndyRTR is trying to get it to compile or 64bit if I remember correctly.

If you are on 32bit and would like to compile it yourself, try my updated PKGBUILD here from AUR. It should build successfully as long as you don't have any broken dependencies on your system. http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?d … =1&ID=5813
In any case, my PKGBUILD is just a 'proof of concept' that OpenOffice.org2 does compile on archlinux using official openoffice.org sources and without the use of ximian stuff.

FYI, here are my builds of hussam's sources:

http://kenny.juvepoland.com/~swiergot/a … penoffice/

Right now I'm building -4.

hussam · 2006-10-10 19:20:37

swiergot, is it possible you might be able to host this as well? It's needed for en_us dictionary and spelling.

swiergot · 2006-10-10 20:11:25

Sure, done.

hussam · 2006-10-10 21:48:01

swiergot, thanks.

swiergot · 2006-10-11 17:57:42

-4 is online.

matsche · 2006-10-13 13:00:03

2.0.4 is out!! http://www.openoffice.org/ Birthday Release! I hink rc3 became final?!

Thanx for all your work guys! I hope you all become a member of the arch-dev-team. I'm looking forward that tpowa will take this into the [extra] repo.

hussam · 2006-10-13 13:21:27

I don't think there were any changes between 2.0.3rc3 and 2.0.4
but I am downloading the 2.0.4 final source now and I will compile it and then update the PKGBUILD.

ganlu · 2006-11-05 05:48:46

Any progress?

You can follow any progress for the x86 package here: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?d … =1&ID=5813

AndyRTR · 2006-11-11 08:19:40

Good news: We can also build it on x86_64 without java and with gnujava .

AndyRTR · 2006-12-02 12:10:59

There: https://www.archlinux.org/~andyrtr/openoffice/

openoffice-base-2.1m6-1.pkg.tar.gz
hunspell-1.1.4-1.pkg.tar.gz
perl-archive-zip-1.16-2.pkg.tar.gz
xmlsec-1.2.10-3.pkg.tar.gz

you can find testing packages for OpenOffice 2.1 RC2. It has been built without java support. So it's small but misses some wizards and the whole "help" section. We are working on OOo built with gnujava.

Please test the packages. Especially if all dependencies get resolved and if the menu entries are ok on various desktops.

rbl · 2006-12-03 22:13:12

Nice work! Everything looks & works good for me so far (except the wizards as you mentioned). I'm using GNOME and the menus, fonts, icons etc are the way they should be. Keep it up!

AndyRTR · 2006-12-06 13:36:10

OpenOffice 2.1 RC2 is now in testing. We got it built with JAVA support. So all wanted features should be activated now.

i686 will follow soon with their testing package.

Try it out and report bugs before we move it to extra.

Pierre · 2006-12-06 15:44:39

The wizards don`t do anything.

Will there be some language-packs in future?

AndyRTR · 2006-12-06 19:39:09

For the wizard you will need to install a java runtime environment (gcc-gcj or jre). Then go into the option menu and choose your java version. Please test that.

Langpacks and spell packages will follow. But first we need a 32bit package in testing...

Pierre · 2006-12-06 19:46:26

JRE is installed and activated. Only some wizards dont work like "letter" or "fax".

AndyRTR · 2006-12-06 20:58:29

according to this: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Java these are all java wizards that are not working. Hm. I will look into this.
