Here are my notes on building AOO 4.2 on Ubuntu 18 LTS 64-bit VM
Thanks for the efforts (both for CentOS 7 and Ubuntu LTS). Some of the
notes below apply to both.
Started with a minimal desktop install.
Especially as we are in a VM, it would make sense to double-check with
a minimal install without even the desktop environment (since one can
connect externally). But I guess the dependencies listed below would
probably do the right thing in either case.
download dmake, unpack, and change into directory
I don't see a need for downloading dmake and/or EPM. This is part of
the build process. Of course nobody forbids your approach, but for a
minimal set of instruction one would just pass the download URLs and
everything would be built automatically.
$ wget https://github.com/jimjag/dmake/archive/dmake-4.12.3.tar.gz
$ wget https://github.com/jimjag/epm/archive/epm-4.4.2.tar.gz
$ wget -O external/unowinreg/unowinreg.dll
https://tools.openoffice.org/unowinreg_prebuild/680/unowinreg.dll
I would replace these three (holds for CentOS 7 too) with files from
OOoExtras. I mean, we should rely on the assumption that in order to
build OpenOffice we must have online:
- The code repository
- OOoExtras for all dependencies (thus I would also store
unowinreg.dll there and change our default download URL for it)
- Extensions if one needs to download/bundle a dictionary
We shouldn't depend on packages hosted on Github or on files from
tools.openoffice.org.
--with-package-format="installed" \
In this case you won't need EPM probably. Or do you still need it?
$ time build --all -P2 -- -P2
# At 14 hours 2 processes didn't do me that much better.
Both timings you reported are really strange, maybe there is some bad
virtualization performance. Even for a build without ccache the time
should be closer to 1 hour than to 14 hours. I'd like to investigate
this or at least to double-check on my hardware.
When I start the office I keep getting this error.
If I select No=ignore things seem to keep working.
Error: assertion failed!
From File <path-to>/aoo/main/vcl/unx/gtk/a11y/atkwrapper.cxx at Line

Abort ? (Yes=abort / No=ignore / Cancel=core dump)
Never seen, but for sure this must be fixed.
Regards,
Andrea.
Hi Andrea,
Thank you very much for your review.
I'll modify my notes and give them another run through.
I can also setup a minimal install a give it a try like you suggested.
I don't think epm would be needed if I'm not packaging.
We could note that somewhere in the instructions.
It's quite possible I could have some settings that need changed on my
VirtualBox guests to improve performance.
I'll look into it.
Best regards,
Carl
