Hi fellow developers, I have created a preconfigured Windows Build Virtual Box VM with the following characteristics:
- Windows XP Service Pack 3 (32 bits) - Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Professional - Cygwin version 1.7.10 - Microsoft Windows SDK version 6.0A - Microsoft DirectX SDK (June 2010( - Java SDK 6 Update 31 - Apache ant 1.8.2 The zipped size of the VM is 5,5 Gb (I optimized it as much as I could) In my desktop computer (i7-2600 @ 3.40 GHz, 6 GB RAM) it takes a bit less than 4 hours to build LibO 3.5 from scratch. This is slow, but I wanted to be able to build it in a VM with only 1 Gb of RAM, so I only use one job. If you use more than one job, the system gets out of memory quite easily unless you modify the VM to use 4 GB of RAM or more. To build your own version of LibreOffice, the only steps you have to do are the following: 1. Click on the "Cygwin Terminal" icon on the desktop. 2. Type "./g pull -r" to update the sources. 3. Type "sh run.sh" to configure 4. Type "/opt/lo/bin/make" And that's all. In four hours or less you'll have a full Windows build of LibreOffice without any pain. Unfortunately, due to the restrictions in the software licenses, I can't make the VM available to everybody. But I think I can make it available to you if you have a current MSDN account. So if you own a MSDN account feel free to ask me for it and I will send it to you. Additionally, If you are a business, you make money distributing LibreOffice, and you want your own VM and you are willing to sponsor it, feel free to contact me. Have a good weekend everybody :) -- Jesús Corrius <je...@softcatala.org> _______________________________________________ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
