This document describes building OpenOffice.org on Solaris.

Requirements

Hardware Requirements

  • Solaris/x86: one or more reasonable fast CPUs, x-way CPU's recommended.
  • Solaris/Sparc: UltraSparc III
  • 2 GB RAM
  • 10 GB free disk space
  • if you don't have a lot of RAM (less than 4GB?) set TMPDIR to a directory that is not on tmpfs

Software Requirements

  • Solaris 10, OpenSolaris 2008.5 or higher, Solaris 11 Express
  • C/C++ Compiler: SunStudio 8, SunStudio 10 - SunStudio 12, SunStudio Express, newer compilers will likely work with a little tweaking (but rumor has it that 12update1 breaks on some boost stuff)

Solaris 11 Express

This section describes building on version snv_151a. Note that only DEV300_m106 or newer contains the necessary fixes in the OOo code.

Prerequisites

You need to pkg install at least the following additional packages:

  • mercurial (to get at the source code)
  • system/header
  • header-math
  • developer/java/jdk
  • developer/java/junit
  • developer/build/ant
  • developer/gperf
  • developer/gnome/gettext
  • developer/parser/bison
  • developer/lexer/flex

The only dependencies that are not in the Solaris Express repository are the SunStudio compiler and the Perl module Archive::Zip.

To install the Perl module, use CPAN (i'm afraid you need to su to root to do this):

 # PATH=/path/to/sunstudio/SUNWspro/bin:$PATH /usr/perl5/bin/perl -MCPAN -e 'shell'
 cpan> install Archive::Zip
 cpan> exit

Building OOo

It is necessary to put SunStudio on the path, otherwise the build will break in stlport. Also, set the CC and CXX variables.

 PATH=/path/to/sunstudio/SUNWspro/bin:$PATH
 ./configure CC=/path/to/sunstudio/SUNWspro/bin/cc CXX=/path/to/sunstudio/SUNWspro/bin/CC 

Building with --enable-werror should work with SunStudio 12.

If configure runs successfully, the build should work just like on other platforms.
