Compiler versions used by port maintainers and release engineers

2010-05-27T10:39:56Z

Vg: /* Compiler versions used by OOo ports */

=GCC versions which are supported by the OOo build system=

* gcc-4.x.x is supported
* gcc-3.3.x is not longer supported, patches aren't any longer accepted
* gcc-3.4.x is deprecated, patches will be accepted up to including OOO330. Build breakers can't be flagged as "Prio 1", fixes will have to come from the port maintainers using this obsolete version as most developers will not have a way to fix or even to verify the build problem.

=Compiler versions used by OOo ports=

Port maintainers: please state your current compiler needs on this page. This helps us to decide when we are able to deprecate an old version of a compiler without leaving a port behind.

Build Linux Requirements

Vg: /* Software requirements */

= Requirements for building OpenOffice.org on Linux =

Before you start building, you must ensure that your system satisfies the recommended software and hardware requirements for the type of system you are working on. For Linux, these are as follows:

== Hardware requirements ==

* one or more reasonable fast CPUs, x-way CPU's recommended.

* 1 GB Ram ( 2 GB recommended )

* 10 GB free disk space

== Software requirements ==

* glibc: for OOo<=3.1: 2.2.x or higher , for OOo>3.1: 2.3.2 or higher

* C/C++ Compiler: OpenOffice.org has been successfully build on Linux with gcc versions greater 3.3.x. Currently "officially used" GCC version is 4.2.3

* The X11 development libraries and header files should be installed. Should be in place with most Linux distributions. Note the there are currently some issues with X version 4.3

* PAM (should come with most Linux distributions). You must install the development package for your distribution.

* Shell: either bash or csh are supported.

* The gpc general polygon clipper library release 2.31, located at http://www.cs.man.ac.uk/aig/staff/alan/software/. Download and unpack the tarball. You should have the files gpc.c and gpc.h in $SRC_ROOT/external/gpc.

* GTK - If you enable the crash reporter in configure then you need the gtk 2, jpeg and tiff development libraries.

== System independent Software requirements ==
