Revision as of 08:04, 24 May 2006
This tutorial will assume a stock Ubuntu 5.10 (Breezy) system as a starting point. One may obtain ooo-build via CVS according to instructions on the Getting It page. You should then enter the ooo-build directory and run ./autogen.sh --with-distro=Ubuntu. Most likely you'll also want to add the --disable-kde flag (unless you're using Kubuntu).
Additional Required Packages
Packages may be obtained as follows:
sudo apt-get install package_name [additional_package(s)]
- libmono-dev
- [please populate the rest of this list!]
Failed patches
As of 5/24/2006, the following patches listed in ooo-build/patches/apply do not apply successfully:
- disable-helpcontent2.diff
- ubuntu-lpi.diff
- ubuntu-dictionary.diff
- fontconfig-substitute.diff
You can try to comment them out in the apply file, but this may have unexpected effects later on in the build...
Tips
A shell script like the one below will alert your attention upon completion of the quite lengthy build process. Run it after ./download completes in place of make.
#!/bin/bash #echo "Starting 'make' wrapper..." cd ~/ooo-build make echo "\n\nCompilation finished." mplayer -really-quiet ~/Music/My_Music_File.mp3
Caveats
Don't do something silly like run udatedb while make is in progress. This will result in locking the filesystem as read-only.
