I tried to build OpenOffice from svn's AOO413 tag today, this time successful.
Still i have to say that the wiki page with step-by-step guide has some errors that i had to deal with(or it's outdated a bit). Things that I encountered so far: 1. Suggested ./configure option list in the wiki is missing a compulsory "--disable-directx" option(in case you are not building with DirectX of course). This is a minor complaint, as the ./configure script will inform you about missing options. 2. AOO413 build process will terminate with an error when running javadoc on some Java sources - most likely due to this breaking change in JDK8: http://blog.joda.org/2014/02/turning-off-doclint-in-jdk-8-javadoc.html. As result, building AOO413 with jdk8 seems impossible if there isn't an easy way to forward -Xdoclint:none option to javadoc. JDK 7 works. 3. It could be helpful to write somewhere in build instructions that dmake doesn't try to rebuild failed modules automatically if they aren't recognised as "changed". I only noticed this while reading https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Debug_Build_Problems, and AFAIK every other build system behaves differently(nmake, cmake/qmake, make ...) Building with symbols/debug mode enabled right now, should finish by tomorrow morning. Then i'll do something with it. 2017-05-01 13:50 GMT+02:00 Pavel Belski <genosim...@gmail.com>: > Hi all, > > currently i'm trying to build Open Office from svn sources, closely > following the guide in https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/ > Building_Guide_AOO/Step_by_step#Windows_7.2C_Windows_8.1.2C_Windows_10. > The trunk revision i currently have is > > Pavel@Pavel-PC /cygdrive/c/oosources/aoo-trunk > $ svn info > Pfad: . > Wurzelpfad der Arbeitskopie: /cygdrive/c/oosources/aoo-trunk > URL: https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/openoffice/trunk > Relative URL: ^/openoffice/trunk > Basis des Projektarchivs: https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf > UUID des Projektarchivs: 13f79535-47bb-0310-9956-ffa450edef68 > Revision: 1793265 > Knotentyp: Verzeichnis > Plan: normal > Letzter Autor: mseidel > Letzte geänderte Rev: 1793216 > Letztes Änderungsdatum: 2017-04-29 18:32:21 +0200 (Sa, 29.
