Building ooo-build on Mac OS X
From Apache OpenOffice Wiki
This page is archived for historical reasons only. It is no longer maintained and information may not be current.
It's actually pretty simple, apart from grabbing the ooo-build tree as explained on Building with ooobuild, you need:
- for Leopard (10.5) XCode 3.0 or better (free ADC download)
- for Tiger (10.4) XCode 2.4.1 or better (free ADC download)
- MacPorts (from here) - the dmg installer version is prolly easiest & safe
After installing (mind the order, MacPorts need XCode, and making sure that your firewall permits traffic on port 873 (rsync), needed for MacPorts' selfupdate):
- make sure your shell path contains /opt/local/bin (open new shell or reboot), if that fails:
echo "export PATH=/opt/local/bin:${PATH}" >> ~/.profile
- install the following extra packages via
sudo port install autoconf automake subversion pkgconfig wget coreutils p5-archive-zip
Until further notice, please use the stable ooo-build-3-0 branch for the mac build (the changes there are not yet fully merged into trunk):
svn co svn://svn.gnome.org/svn/ooo-build/branches/ooo-build-3-0 ooo-build
My current configure line is:
./autogen.sh --with-distro=GoOoMacOSX --disable-mozilla --disable-build-mozilla
followed by
./download && make
should get you an en-US installer dmg plus a set of language packs for the extra languages you selected in instsetoo_native..
