== Hints ==
+
dmake first checks for depencies of the modules. If you have a fresh checkout you could get some errors:
+
<pre>
+
Fetching dependencies for module swext from solver... failed...
+
Fetching from CVS...  failed
+
 
+
WARNING! Project(s):
+
swext
+
+
not found and couldn't be built. Dependencies on that module(s)
+
ignored. Maybe you should correct build
+
dmake:  Error code 1, while making 'check_modules'
+
</pre>
+
You have to checkout the module swext by i.e.:<br />
+
cvs co -r DEV300_m2 swext<br />
+
(for DEV300_m22)<br />
+
There are also failing depencies for modules apache-commons and tomcat. Check them out in the same way as swext above.<br />
+
If you get the following error or something similar:
+
<pre>
+
ERROR: /usr/lib/libcairo.so.2: undefined symbol: FT_Library_SetLcdFilter<br />
+
dmake:  Error code 1, while making '../unxlngi6.pro/lib/libeggtrayli.so'
+
</pre>
+
your version of libcairo is too old. To solve this error install a newer version (i.e. libcairo.so.2.11.7).
+
When building with cairo, you almost certainly need to specify
+
--with-sytem-freetype, since the one that is in OOo's sources just is too
+
old.<br />
+
Actually, there is an error about ant, if you build swext/mediawiki:
+
<pre>
+
BUILD FAILED
+
swext/mediawiki/build.xml:126: No supported regular expression matcher found: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.tools.ant.util.regexp.Jdk14RegexpMatcher
+
</pre>
+
This error could be solved on Linux by installing a package called ant-optional or similar. There are some additional files for ant missing.
+
 
+
If you got an error like this
+
<pre>
+
ERROR: Error 65280 occurred while making /work/ooovanillabuild/ucb/source/ucp/gvfs
+
</pre>
+
look inside the output in your shell if there are something wrong with your glib-devel version. If you see inside the messages in the shell something like this:
+
<pre>
+
 
+
/usr/include/glib-1.2/glib.h:2725:1: warning: this is the location of the previous definition
+
(...)
+
/usr/include/glib-2.0/glib/gthread.h:352:1: warning: "G_LOCK_NAME" redefined
+
</pre>
+
you have to unistall one of the glib-devel version; mostly glib-devel version 1.

= Tips and Tricks =
+
 
+
Here are some tips that make your life easier or can accelerate the build
+
 
+
== ccache, deps, parallel builds and prebuilt mozilla ==
+
see [[Development/OpenOffice.org Building Guide| Building Guide]]
+
 
+
== saving disk space by linking to the solver only ==
+
Use  "--dlv_switch -link" when running build to tell deliver to only link the files instead of copying them:
+
<pre>
+
build --dlv_switch -link
+
</pre>
+
 
+
== fixing epm 4 product name error ==
+
If you get "epm: Product names can only contain letters and numbers!" error, you must patch epm and comment out name check:
+
<pre>
+
/*
+
  * for (i = 0; prodname[i]; i ++)
+
  *  if (!isalnum(prodname[i] & 255))
+
  *  {
+
  *    puts("epm: Product names can only contain letters and numbers!");
+
  *    usage();
+
  *  }
+
*/
+
</pre>
