Finally, I've managed to build AOO401 on MAC OSX 10.6.8! I'm publishing the steps needed, with configuration, for any comments. Later on, I plan to edit the Mac Building Guide wiki page, accordingly, so other Mac developers, please comment:
Created a folder for Apache OpenOffice code SVN sync to tags/AOO401 (more stable code) Created initial configuration script (build.sh), which contains: #! /bin/bash #echo "### checking for unowinreg.dll ... " if [ ! -e ./external/unowinreg/unowinreg.dll ]; then curl http://tools.openoffice.org/unowinreg_prebuild/680/unowinreg.dll -o ./external/unowinreg/unowinreg.dll # (wget wasn't supported in my bash) else echo " unowinreg.dll found" fi echo "### checking for moz prebuild libs ... " if [ ! -e ./moz/zipped/MACOSXGCCIinc.zip ]; then curl http://www.openoffice.org/tools/moz_prebuild/680/MACOSXGCCIinc.zip -o ./moz/zipped/MACOSXGCCIinc.zip curl http://www.openoffice.org/tools/moz_prebuild/680/MACOSXGCCIlib.zip -o ./moz/zipped/MACOSXGCCIlib.zip curl http://www.openoffice.org/tools/moz_prebuild/680/MACOSXGCCIruntime.zip-o ./moz/zipped/MACOSXGCCIruntime.zip # (wget wasn't supported in my bash) else echo " moz prebuild libs found" fi if [ ! -e ./configure ]; then echo "### autoconf ..." autoconf else echo "### autoconf ..." rm ./configure autoconf fi echo "### Configure" ./configure --with-build-version="$(date +"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S") - Rev. $(echo $(svn info) | sed -e 's/^.*Last Changed Rev: //g' -e 's/ .*//g')" \ --disable-mozilla \ --disable-build-mozilla \ --disable-systray --enable-verbose --enable-category-b --enable-minimizer --enable-presenter-console --enable-wiki-publisher \ --with-dmake-url= http://dmake.apache-extras.org.codespot.com/files/dmake-4.12.tar.bz2 \ --with-epm-url= http://epm.sourcearchive.com/downloads/3.7-1/epm_3.7.orig.tar.gz \ --without-stlport ./bootstrap Installed MacPorts [mac]port *ccache* installed (for faster builds), and set its memory cache to be... big: sudo port install ccache ccache -M 1G changed ~/.bash_profile, so ccache will manage all gcc compilations: export CC="ccache gcc" export CXX="ccache g++" gcc 4.0 version is needed (my system had gcc4.2 by default), so here are 2 options. *gcc 4.0, option #1 (less simple; that's what I used): * installed gcc 4.0 with MacPorts: port gcc40 installed (apple): sudo port install apple-gcc40 port gcc_select installed (allows switching between different gcc versions): sudo port install gcc_select listed all available gcc versions: port select --list gcc changed to gcc40 as the active complier sudo port select –set gcc apple-gcc40 *gcc 4.0, option #2 (simpler; not verified if working): * check whether you have gcc 4.0 already installed: ls -l /usr/bin/gcc* update symbolic link to point to version 4.0 sudo ln -s “/user/bin/gcc-4.0” “/user/bin/gcc” *Python 2.7 *installed (native, not through MacPorts) Created a symbolic link to direct to *Mac OSX10.5 SDK* (gcc was looking for 10.4u SDK): sudo ln -s "/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk" "/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk" Executed the configuration script (as shown above), which calls *autoconf*, *configuration*, and *bootstrap* with the correct parameters: ./build.sh (you may need to execute it a few times, until you fix all errors, but finally...) Configuration and bootstrap finished successfully! Built project: source MacOSXX86Env.Set.sh cd instsetoo_native build –all -P2 --html --html_path /Users/$USER/Sites/ Note: the guide instructs to check progress at http://localhost/~tal/unxmacxi.pro.build.html, but the HTML file seems to be malformed. I found the Terminal's output to be satisfactory. If the build reports errors in a specific module, enter that folder, build with more details, and try to fix the errors first. E.g.: cd ../soltools build verbose=1 to build the project again: source MacOSXX86Env.Set.sh cd instsetoo_native build --from soltools (problematic module where the previous build aborted at) or... (?) build --prepare (?) build –all -P2 --html --html_path /Users/$USER/Sites/ Build time: started ~14:15 – 00:00 = ~10 When the build is complete, opened DMG package present at cd unxmacxi.pro/Apache_OpenOffice_SDK/dmg/install/en-US/ and installed into a folder of my choice. Works.
