The page should be filled with useful information about how to build a recent version of OOo on the OpenSolaris platform. Some mailing list postings showed that this may not be an easy task.

Prerequisites

If you have a freshly installed OpenSolaris you may need the following packages to build OpenOffice.org. A package can be installed with:

 pfexec pkg install <packagename>
  • SUNWgcc (if you build with gcc, not with Sun Studio. Note: this gcc package is linked against Sun ld and currently won't work for OOo)
  • SUNWgnu-gperf
  • SUNWsunstudioexpress
  • SUNWsvn (if you like to checkout sources via Subversion)

You will need the Archive::Zip.pm Perl module which does not ship with OpenSolaris per default. You can manually install it (and its prerequisites) using CPAN with invoking the following commands:

 # export PATH=$PATH:/opt/SunStudioExpress/bin
 # /usr/perl5/bin/perl -MCPAN -e 'shell'
 cpan> install Archive::Zip
 cpan> exit

Special switches

As it requires more work you may want to disable specific features on OpenSolaris. The following configure switches make life easier:

 --disable-cups
