=== configure ===

<p>
The build process is pretty complicated; you have a choice
of commands now; although running both won't actually hurt:
</p>
./autogen.sh # only for the CVS version
./configure # the packaged version

<p>
This will guess which branch snapshot you want to build; if
you have other ideas use the --with-tag option; eg.
<code>--with-tag=src680-m65</code> for a legacy branch.
</p>
<p>
If for some reason you have a 31337 multi-threaded computer,
with great slabs of RAM; you'll want to use --with-num-cpus=8
etc. NB. it's not clever to force the build to swap like a
demented pawnbroker by using an artificially high number; C++
compilation is seriously memory hungry.
</p>
<p>
In particular, building SRC680 requires a recent jdk & a
version of apache-ant. If you use a Novell system, just do:
<code>sudo rug in apache-ant</code>, alternatively download
a package from [http://www.rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=apache-ant&submit=Search+..." rpmfind.net] or failing that see [http://ant.apache.org/bindownload.cgi Ant download]
& set the ANT environment variable
appropriately before configuring.
</p>
<h4>Known ./configure parameters</h4>
<ul>
<li><h5><code>--with-system-<package name></code></h5>
<p>where <package name> is replaced by the package to use. I don't
have a particularly good understanding of its full effects beyond
the fact that it (probably) doesn't then build its own copy of the
package.</p>
<p><b>Examples:</b><br>
<code>--with-system-python</code><br>
<code>--with-system-mozilla</code><br>
<code>--with-system-gcc</code><br>
<code>--with-system-neon</code><br>
<code>--with-system-curl</code><br>
</p>
</li>
<li><h5><code>--without-system-<package name></code></h5>
<p><b>Examples:</b><br>
<code>--without-system-mozilla</code>
</p>
</li>
<li><h5><code>--with-<package or tag>[=value]</code></h5>
<p><b>Examples:</b><br>
<code>--with-lang=en-US</code><br>
<code>--with-build-version="Build 2.0.1.3"</code><br>
<code>--with-distro=Gentoo</code><br>
</p>
</li>
<li><h5><code>--without-<package or tag></code></h5>
<p><b>Examples:</b><br>
<code>--without-myspell-dicts</code><br>
<code>--without-java</code><br>
<code>--without-nas</code><br>
</p>
</li>
<li><h5><code>--enable-<package name></code></h5>
<p><b>Examples:</b><br>
<code>--enable-openldap</code><br>
</p>
</li>
<li><h5><code>--disable-<package name></code></h5>
<p><b>Examples:</b><br>
<code>--disable-openldap</code><br>
<code>--disable-qadevoo</code><br>
<code>--disable-mozilla</code><br>
<code>--disable-access</code><br>
<code>--disable-evolution2</code><br>
</p>
</li>
<li><h5><code>--mandir=<dir></code></h5></li>
</ul>

=== Requirements ===
*A recent version of automake, such as the 1.9 series.
*If you don't have a working Java VM (i.e. any runtime), you should pass <code>--with-java=no</code> to either <code>autogen.sh</code> or <code>configure</code>.
*You need the Archive/Zip module for Perl (perl-Archive-Zip on RPM-based distributions, libarchive-zip-perl on dpkg-based distributions). Alternatively, see instructions[http://ooo.ximian.com/cpan.html] for obtaining Perl modules through CPAN.
*You need the development package for Python (this would be python-devel on RPM-based distributions).
*You need curl and curl-devel.
*You need odbc_config to be present. On SUSE systems, this is in the unixODBC-devel package.
*You need libsndfile and libsndfile-devel.
*If you don't have a recent enough openldap, pass <code>--disable-openldap</code> to <code>autogen.sh</code> or <code>configure</code>.
*You need neon and neon-devel.
*You need qt3 and qt3-devel, or if you don't have the KDE development packages, pass <code>--disable-kde</code> to <code>autogen.sh</code> or <code>configure</code>.
*You need mozilla-nss-devel.
*In SuSE, you need gecko-sdk.

=== download ===

<p>
By the time you've upgraded your system to the point that it
has all the packages you need to start building OO.o (mozilla etc. etc.) you're almost at the point that you
can download the bulk of the source. To do this, after a
successful configure simply type: <code>./download</code> and wait.
</p>
<p>
If for whatever reason this fails, you can verify your download
by fetching the equivalent .md5 file & comparing it to
the result of <code>md5sum <archive></code>. The source
archives are http://go-ooo.org/packages/SRC680
- put the source in ooo-build/src.
</p>

=== make ===

<p>
This is the taxing bit - type <code>make</code> and don't forget
to press enter. Quite possibly you want to log the output, so
why not <code>make 2>&1 | tee /tmp/log</code>.
</p>
<p>
Since ooo-build wraps the actual OO.o configuration &
build process, there are a number of internal config checks that
also need to pass. For a first time build it's well worth staying
near the console while everything unpacks, and the internal
configure runs; if that completes without incident - you're
usually into the heavy-duty thumb twiddling.
