===Obtaining ooo-build===
+
__TOC__
One may obtain the stable 2.0.2 version of <code>ooo-build</code> via CVS with the following commands:
+
== Preparing to build Apache OpenOffice on Ubuntu ==
 +
 
 +
To get and build Apache OpenOffice you need some packages. You can get them with:
 
<pre>
 
<pre>
export CVSROOT=':pserver:anonymous@anoncvs.gnome.org:/cvs/gnome'
+
sudo apt-get install subversion g++ gcc bison flex libarchive-zip-perl libcups2-dev libpam0g-dev \
cvs login
+
gperf libfreetype6-dev libxaw7-dev libfontconfig1-dev libxrandr-dev patch \
cvs -z3 checkout -P ooo-build
+
libgconf2-dev libgnomevfs2-dev ant libgtk2.0-dev junit junit4 libidl-dev liborbit2-dev</pre>
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===
+
If you want to use the system provided libraries instead of building them for yourself you should get their development packages by running:
Packages may be obtained as follows:
+
  
  sudo apt-get install ''package_name [additional_package(s)]''
+
<pre>
 +
sudo apt-get install python-dev ccache libgraphite-dev \
 +
libwpd-dev libxslt-dev libhunspell-dev libaltlinuxhyph-dev
 +
</pre>
  
Alternatively, you may use the Synaptic Package Manager to install missing packages.
+
The java package depends on your Ubuntu version:
  
To obtain the source, you need:
+
For Ubuntu 9.10 ("Karmic Koala") and 10.04 ("Lucid Lynx") you must activate the "ubuntu lucid partner" archive in the software sources and run
*cvs
+
<pre>
 +
sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk
 +
</pre>
  
To complete <code>autogen.sh</code>, you need:
+
For Ubuntu 11.04 and up please run
*automake1.9
+
<pre>
*build-essential
+
sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jdk
*libpam0g-dev
+
</pre>
*libpng12-dev
+
*flex
+
*bison
+
*libgtk2.0-dev
+
  
For <code>make</code> to finish its configuration stage, you need:
+
To make sure that all packages are installed you could just simply run command:
*tcsh
+
<pre>
*libcupsys2-dev
+
sudo apt-get build-dep openoffice.org
*java-gcj-compat-dev
+
</pre>
*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
+
*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)
+
*libgstreamer0.10-dev
+
*libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-dev
+
  
Far into the ''main build commencing'' section, you'll realize you need these:
+
== Testing the Prerequisites ==
  
*libbonobo2-dev
+
First download the source code:
*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>
 
<pre>
#!/bin/bash
+
svn co https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/openoffice/trunk aoo
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>
 
</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>.
+
Then the configure step will help you to find out if all is there:
 
+
===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>
 
<pre>
#!/bin/bash
+
cd aoo/main
echo "Starting Ubuntu ooo-build preparations..."

./configure --disable-mozilla --with-junit="/usr/share/java/junit4.jar"

Documentation note.png Please add only Ubuntu-specifics here! Use the information on the Building Guide and only fall back to this document if you need help with Ubuntu-specifics (like package names).

Preparing to build Apache OpenOffice on Ubuntu

To get and build Apache OpenOffice you need some packages. You can get them with:

sudo apt-get install subversion g++ gcc bison flex libarchive-zip-perl libcups2-dev libpam0g-dev \
gperf libfreetype6-dev libxaw7-dev libfontconfig1-dev libxrandr-dev patch \
libgconf2-dev libgnomevfs2-dev ant libgtk2.0-dev junit junit4 libidl-dev liborbit2-dev

If you want to use the system provided libraries instead of building them for yourself you should get their development packages by running:

sudo apt-get install python-dev ccache libgraphite-dev \
libwpd-dev libxslt-dev libhunspell-dev libaltlinuxhyph-dev

The java package depends on your Ubuntu version:

For Ubuntu 9.10 ("Karmic Koala") and 10.04 ("Lucid Lynx") you must activate the "ubuntu lucid partner" archive in the software sources and run

sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk

For Ubuntu 11.04 and up please run

sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jdk

To make sure that all packages are installed you could just simply run command:

sudo apt-get build-dep openoffice.org

Testing the Prerequisites

First download the source code:

svn co https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/openoffice/trunk aoo

Then the configure step will help you to find out if all is there:

cd aoo/main
autoconf
./configure --disable-mozilla --with-junit="/usr/share/java/junit4.jar"

For other options regarding mozilla code please see here.
