= Build Environment Running on Fedora Core 4 = <blockquote><div> == Prerequisites == Firstly, it would be meaningful to know the [http://www.openoffice.org/dev_docs/source/sys_reqs_20.html System Requirements for OpenOffice.org 2] released by the community. It says that <blockquote><pre> Linux kernel version 2.2.13 or higher, glibc2 version 2.2.0 or higher </pre></blockquote> The Linux kernel-2.2.13 became available late in 1999. Looking for similar distributions, you would find some: <blockquote><div> * Red Hat Linux 6.1 released in October, 2000 comes with kernel-2.2.12. * Red Hat Linux 6.2 released in April, 2000 comes with kernel-2.2.14. **http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Hat_Linux **http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/History * Turbolinux Workstation 6.0 released in June, 2000 comes with kernel-2.2.13 and glibc-2.1.2. </div></blockquote> Nowadays it is relatively difficult to get such a somewhat antique distribution. So we will need to find an alternative. Secondarily, refer to [[Compiler versions used by port maintainers and release engineers]] to find out what version of tools are used for release engineering. == Choosing a Linux distribution == Then, choose a Linux distribution. There are many distributions currently available. Since the 'solver' seems to be created on the environment firstly prepared in the year of around 2000, some of the distributions can work with it, but others can not. <blockquote><div> === Fedora Core Distributions === Fedora Core and Fedora distributions are freely available and widely used in the world. <blockquote><div> ==== Versions of the packages bundled in the Fedora Core and Fedora distributions ==== *http://fedoraproject.org/ {|border=1 !Package ![http://ftp.iij.ad.jp/pub/linux/fedora/core/1/SRPMS/ FC1] ![http://ftp.iij.ad.jp/pub/linux/fedora/core/2/SRPMS/ FC2] ![http://ftp.iij.ad.jp/pub/linux/fedora/core/3/SRPMS/ FC3] ![http://ftp.iij.ad.jp/pub/linux/fedora/core/4/SRPMS/ FC4] ![http://ftp.iij.ad.jp/pub/linux/fedora/core/5/source/SRPMS/ FC5] ![http://ftp.iij.ad.jp/pub/linux/fedora/core/6/source/SRPMS/ FC6] ![http://ftp.iij.ad.jp/pub/linux/fedora/releases/7/Fedora/source/SRPMS/ Fedora 7] ![http://ftp.iij.ad.jp/pub/linux/fedora/releases/8/Fedora/source/SRPMS/ Fedora 8] |- |kernel |align="center"| |align="center"|2.6.5 |align="center"|2.6.9 |align="center"|2.6.11 |align="center"|2.6.15 |align="center"|2.6.18 |align="center"|2.6.21 |align="center"|2.6.23 |- |glibc |align="center"| |align="center"|2.3.3 |align="center"|2.3.3 |align="center"|2.3.5 |align="center"|2.4 |align="center"|2.5 |align="center"|2.6 |align="center"|2.7 |- |[http://gcc.gnu.org/ gcc] |align="center"| |align="center"|3.3.3 |align="center"|3.4.2 |align="center"|4.0.0 |align="center"|4.1.0 |align="center"|4.1.1 |align="center"|4.1.2 |align="center"|4.1.2 |- |binutils |align="center"| |align="center"|2.15.90 |align="center"|2.15.92 |align="center"|2.15.94 |align="center"|2.16.91 |align="center"|2.17.50 |align="center"|2.17.50 |align="center"|2.17.50 |- |[http://ant.apache.org/ ant] |align="center"| |align="center"|1.5.2 |align="center"|n/a |align="center"|1.6.2 |align="center"|1.6.5 |align="center"|1.6.5 |align="center"|n/a |align="center"|1.7.0 |- |[http://www.scim-im.org/ scim] |align="center"| |align="center"|n/a |align="center"|n/a |align="center"|n/a |align="center"|1.4.4 |align="center"|1.4.4 |align="center"|1.4.5 |align="center"|1.4.7 |- |} n/a: Not Available ==== Dependencies ==== * gcc-3.4.x series does not work with binutils-2.16.x due to gcc's bug ** http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=33938 ** http://www.google.com/search?q=defined+in+discarded+section * configure of OpenOffice.org 2.3.0 requires ant-1.6.0 or later. ==== Choice ==== Fedora Core 4 plus gcc-3.4.1 seems to be the better choice among the Fedora distributions. </div></blockquote> </div></blockquote> == Setting up development environment == <blockquote> === Setting up a Fedora Core 4 box === # Visit http://fedoraproject.org/ # Follow links to find a list of mirror servers. # Download core/4/i386/iso/FC4-i386-DVD.iso # Install it. # Additionally install necessary packages, if needed. <blockquote> To use yum, you will need to create a directory 'repodata' since FC4-i386-DVD.iso does not have it while an iso image of Fedora 8 does. <pre> mount -o /dev/cdrom /mnt mkdir /var/tmp/RPMS cd /var/tmp/RPMS ln -s /mnt/Fedora/RPMS/* . createrepo . </pre> To use the repodata, specify a path of the directory in which repodata is. <pre> cd /etc/yum.repos.d mkdir disabled mv *.repo disabled cat > dvd.repo [dvd] name=Fedora 4 Install DVD baseurl=file:///var/tmp/RPMS gpgcheck=0 ^D yum list yum install name_of_package mv disabled/* . mv dvd.repo disabled umount /mnt </pre> </blockquote> === Installing gcc-3.4.1 === # Visit http://gcc.gnu.org/ # Follow links to find a list of mirror servers. # Download releases/gcc-3.4.1/gcc-3.4.1.tar.gz # Apply two patches following an article [http://porting.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=dev&msgNo=14280 <nowiki>[porting-dev]</nowiki> OOo Linux builds: Hamburg RE switches over to gcc-3.4.1] by Jens-Heiner Rechtien. ## enum patch - http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2004-07/msg00968.html by Jakub Jelinek ## visibility patch - http://www.nedprod.com/programs/gccvisibility.html by Niall Douglas # Install it following instructions at gcc-3.4.1/INSTALL/index.html <blockquote><pre> bunzip2 -dc gcc-3.4.1.tar.bz2 | tar zxf - cd gcc-3.4.1 patch -p0 < ../Fix_C++_enums_handling_in_build_range_check.patch patch -p1 < ../GCC3.4.0VisibilityPatch2.diff mkdir -p build/object cd build/object ../../configure '--enable-languages=c,c++' make bootstrap make install </pre></blockquote> <blockquote><div> Here is an example file Fix_C++_enums_handling_in_build_range_check.patch <br/> This example is cited from http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2004-07/msg00968.html <br/> and then a portion "--- gcc/fold-const.c.jj" in the first line is intentionally replaced with "--- gcc.original/fold-const" <pre> --- gcc.original/fold-const 2004-07-09 13:50:54.000000000 +0200 +++ gcc/fold-const.c 2004-07-09 18:10:52.945905468 +0200 @@ -3844,7 +3844,13 @@ build_range_check (tree type, tree exp, HOST_WIDE_INT hi;
