The information on this page is likely outdated. Use the information on the Building Guide and only fall back to this document if you need help with Ubuntu-specifics (like package names).

Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala

You probably need the following packages:

apt-get install g++ gcc bison flex libarchive-zip-perl libcups2-dev libpam0g-dev subversion \
sun-java6-jdk gperf libfreetype6-dev libxaw7-dev libfontconfig1-dev libxrandr-dev patch \
libgconf2-dev libgnomevfs2-dev ant python-dev libgtk2.0-dev ccache libgraphite-dev

or use this url:

apt:g++,gcc,bison,flex,libarchive-zip-perl,libcups2-dev,libpam0g-dev,subversion,sun-java6-jdk,gperf,libfreetype6-dev,libxaw7-dev,libfontconfig1-dev,libxrandr-dev,patch,libgconf2-dev,libgnomevfs2-dev,ant,python-dev,libgtk2.0-dev,ccache,libgraphite-dev

Also download unowinreg.dll in addition to the source with the following else you'll get a configure error about this dependency:

cd external/unowinreg/ && wget http://tools.openoffice.org/unowinreg_prebuild/680/unowinreg.dll

Ubuntu 8.04 (LTS) Hardy

For Hardy, the list of recommended packages is different. Here's the command that got one first-timer through the many configure errors:

aptitude install \
ant ant-optional automake1.9 bison build-essential cvs \
flex gcj gperf java-gcj-compat-dev kdebase-dev \
libagg-dev libaltlinuxhyph-dev libarchive-zip-perl \
libaudio-dev libboost-dev libcupsys2-dev \
libcurl4-openssl-dev libdb4.6-dev libdb4.6-java libgcj7-dev libgconf2-dev \
libgnomevfs2-dev libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-dev \
libgstreamer0.10-dev libgtk2.0-dev libhunspell-dev \
libjpeg62-dev libldap2-dev libmono-dev libneon26-dev \
libnss3-dev libpam0g-dev libpam-dev libpng12-dev \
libportaudio-dev libpq-dev libsablot0-dev \
libsane-dev libsndfile1-dev libsoap-lite-perl \
libstartup-notification0-dev libstlport5.1-dev libwpd8-dev \
libxaw-headers libxml2-dev libxrandr-dev libxul-dev mingw32 mozilla-dev \
myspell-tools python-dev tcsh unixodbc-dev

First trial

You don't have to install all necessary packages at once, you can go through trial and error to gain more knowledge about the Ubuntu packaging:

./configure

Configure without any parameters gives you some errors probably. You can disable some parts, e.g. --disable-mozilla. If configure requests for a file you can use the Ubuntu package content search to get to know which package provides such file.

The following configure switches are known to work:

./configure --enable-werror --disable-mozilla --disable-cups --disable-gnome-vfs --disable-gtk  --with-system-lpsolve=no --enable-werror with_jdk_home=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun --with-package-format=deb

With Mozilla

The commandline to configure is also a bit different, e.g.

./configure --with-distro=UbuntuHardy --with-system-mozilla=xulrunner

The --with-system-mozilla=xulrunner option seems to fix the configure error

checking for libxul-xpcom ... Package libxul-xpcom was not found in the pkg-config search path.

Patches

Recent developer builds may need additional patches to build properly. You should have a look at the Subversion repository at

svn://svn.services.openoffice.org/ooo/patches/buildbot

where patches of the OOo Buildbots can be found.

-== Build using ooo-build on Ubuntu 5.10 Breezy ==
-<font color="red">The instructions below are outdated and need a refresh!</font>
-This tutorial will assume a stock [http://www.ubuntu.com/download Ubuntu] 5.10 (Breezy) system as a starting point.
-(See below for Hardy instructions.)
-===Obtaining ooo-build===
-One may obtain the stable 2.0.2 version of <code>ooo-build</code> via CVS with the following commands:
-<pre>
-export CVSROOT=':pserver:anonymous@anoncvs.gnome.org:/cvs/gnome'
-cvs login
-cvs -z3 checkout -P ooo-build
-cvs update -Pd -r ooo-build-2-0-2
-</pre>
-You should then enter the <code>ooo-build</code> directory and run <code>./autogen.sh --with-distro=Ubuntu</code>. Most likely you'll also want to add the <code>--disable-kde</code> flag (unless you're using [http://www.kubuntu.org/ Kubuntu]).
-===Additional Required Packages===
-Packages may be obtained as follows:
-  sudo apt-get install ''package_name [additional_package(s)]''
-Alternatively, you may use the Synaptic Package Manager to install missing packages.
-To obtain the source, you need:
-*cvs
-To complete <code>autogen.sh</code>, you need:
-*automake1.9
-*build-essential
-*libpam0g-dev
-*libpng12-dev
-*flex
-*bison
-*libgtk2.0-dev
-For <code>make</code> to finish its configuration stage, you need:
-*tcsh
-*libcupsys2-dev
-*java-gcj-compat-dev
-*libarchive-zip-perl
-*libjpeg62-dev
-*libxml2-dev
-*python-dev
-*libdb4.3-dev
-*libdb4.3-java-dev
-*libcurl3-dev (on 7.10/gutsy: libcurl4-gnutls-dev)
-*unixodbc-dev
-*libldap2-dev
-*mozilla-dev
-*libnss-dev
-*libsane-dev
-*libxaw-headers
-*libaudio-dev
-*libsndfile1-dev
-*libneon24-dev
-*libgnomevfs2-dev
-*kdebase-dev (KDE only?)
-*libstartup-notification0-dev
-*ant
-*libdbus-glib-1-dev (Ubuntu version is not high enough! 0.36.2 < 0.60)
-*firefox-dev (if --with-firefox used)
-*libxul-dev (if --with-firefox used)
-*libgstreamer0.10-dev
-*libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-dev
-*gperf
-*libxslt1-dev
-Far into the ''main build commencing'' section, you'll realize you need these:
-*libbonobo2-dev
-*libxaw7-dev
-===Necessary ./configure Flags===
-*'''--disable-gtk''' &mdash; This has to be disabled, otherwise <code>make</code> will get hung up on the dbus-glib-1 version 0.60 requirement. The highest version of that package available for Ubuntu is 0.36.2.
-===Failed patches===
-[[Talk:Ubuntu_Build_Instructions#Failed_Patches|Some of the patches]] listed in <code>ooo-build/patches/src680/apply</code> may not apply successfully.  You can try to comment them out in the <code>apply</code> file, but this is an experimental solution...
-===Tips===
-A shell script like the one below will alert your attention upon completion of the quite lengthy build process.  Run it after <code>./download</code> completes in place of <code>make</code>.
-<pre>
-#!/bin/bash
-echo "Starting 'make' wrapper..."
-cd ~/ooo-build
-/usr/bin/time --quiet -f %E make
-echo "Compilation finished."
-mplayer -really-quiet ~/Music/My_Music_File.mp3
-</pre>
-For the purpose of this tutorial, save the file as <code>make_wrapper.sh</code>. To make it executable, type <code>chmod 744 make_wrapper.sh</code>.
-===Development Environment Preparation Script===
-'''Note:''' User interaction is required first to enter a password for apt-get, and again much later to hit Enter when prompted for a CVS password.
-<pre>
-#!/bin/bash
-echo "Starting Ubuntu ooo-build preparations..."
-sudo apt-get -y install cvs automake1.9 build-essential libpam0g-dev libpng12-dev flex bison libgtk2.0-dev \
-tcsh libcupsys2-dev java-gcj-compat-dev libarchive-zip-perl libjpeg62-dev libxml2-dev python-dev libdb4.3-dev \
-libdb4.3-java-dev libcurl3-dev unixodbc-dev libldap2-dev mozilla-dev libnss-dev libsane-dev libxaw-headers \
-libaudio-dev libsndfile1-dev libneon24-dev libgnomevfs2-dev libstartup-notification0-dev ant
-export CVSROOT=':pserver:anonymous@anoncvs.gnome.org:/cvs/gnome'
-cvs login
-cvs -z3 co -P ooo-build
-cvs up -Pd -r ooo-build-2-0-2
-echo "Preparations complete."
-cd ~/ooo-build
-./autogen.sh --with-distro=Ubuntu --disable-kde
-./download
-#Now comment out failing patch:
-cp patches/src680/apply patches/src680/apply~
-sed 's/^ubuntu-dictionary\.diff/#&/' <patches/src680/apply~ >patches/src680/apply
-rm patches/src680/apply~
-make
-#Or if you want an audible alert,
-#~/make_wrapper.sh
-</pre>
