OpenSolaris Build Instructions
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
As on all other platforms you need the unowinreg.dll from http://tools.openoffice.org/unowinreg_prebuild/680/ .
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
