Issues building Symphony

[Pedro Giffuni <pf...@apache.org>]

Hi;

I tried configuring Symphony under FreeBSD and I can basically confirm
that the instructions in the Wiki are wrong. The Wiki here
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/How_to_build_Symphony's_source_code


mentions --disable-build-mozilla but that option doesn't work, you need
--disable-mozilla

Under FreeBSD the basic configure procedure is somewhat complicated
because cups and other thirdparty software is installed in /usr/local.
The version of configure.in in Symphony still has references to the
obsolete Pentaho stuff.

I did get it to configure with this set of options:
./configure --x-includes=/usr/local/include --x-libraries=/usr/local/lib \
--without-junit \
--disable-odk \
--disable-mozilla \
--enable-category-b \
--with-system-zlib \
--disable-gstreamer \
--with-system-libxml \
--enable-bundled-dictionaries \

--with-gnu-patch=/usr/local/bin/gpatch

The next issue is this:

build -- version: 275224
Ambiguous paths for module hunspell: /usr/ports/editors/symphony/work/ooo/main/hunspell and /usr/ports/editors/symphony/work/ooo/ext_libraries/hunspell at /usr/ports/editors/openoffice-3-devel/work/ooo/main/solenv/bin/build.pl line 244

I guess I can use some brute force to get it to build but I am wondering if that
makes sense :(. We will see ...

cheers,

Pedro.
