I use ubuntu (12.04 server and 12.10 desktop) and have no problem building trunk, branches/l10n.
I use the following conf call: ./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 \ --enable-wiki-publisher \ --with-lang="da" (also with --with-lang). I have not changed any java setup, actually I just installed the 12.10 yesterday, so it is fresh out of the box. I had a problem with sysui and permission,but I committed a change to build a while ago. java is version 1.7.0_09 OpenJDK runtime (IcedTea 2.3.3) OpenJDK 64bit server build 23-2-b09 I just had another build all this evening which just completed.
