Hi, I cannot build AOO from source. I use Ubuntu 64bit. I have never been able to build correctly; I switched from jdk7 to jdk6 and that didn't change anything. I used these instructions, [1], to get things started but I use a different svn url. (off topic: I tried svn-git but it stops responding after a while).
These are the commands that I run to get the build going: svn co https://svn-master.apache.org/repos/asf/openoffice/trunk ~/aoo/trunk cd ~/aoo/trunk/main/ autoconf ~/aoo/trunk/main/configure --with-dmake-url=http://dmake.apache-extras.org.codespot.com/files/dmake-4.12.tar.bz2 --with-epm-url=http://ftp.easysw.com/pub/epm/3.7/epm-3.7-source.tar.gz --disable-odk --disable-binfilter ~/aoo/trunk/main/bootstrap source ~/aoo/trunk/main/LinuxX86-64Env.Set.sh cd ~/aoo/trunk/main/instsetoo_native/ build --all -P4 -- -P4 It fails. I get a bunch of compiler errors about abstract methods not being overridden: " [javac] /home/ljdelight/aoo/trunk/main/hsqldb/unxlngx6.pro/misc/build/hsqldb/src/org/hsqldb/jdbc/jdbcStatement.java:127: error: jdbcStatement is not abstract and does not override abstract method isCloseOnCompletion() in Statement [javac] public class jdbcStatement implements Statement { [javac] ^ ERROR: error 65280 occurred while making /home/ljdelight/aoo/trunk/main/hsqldb When you have fixed the errors in that module you can resume the build by running: build --from hsqldb " Thanks for the help, Lucas [1] http://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Building_Guide_AOO
