Restructuring AOO Build Guide
In a previous thread
(https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/r4bf950b61077b8fb320de7c257d6ffacbcbf42cd2bdf643c3be7b617%40%3Cdev.openoffice.apache.org%3E)
it was mentioned that a restructuring of the AOO build Guides would be a
good idea.
I am starting this thread as a place where people can discuss ideas of
what this my look like. For reference the current Build Guide is here:
https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Building_Guide_AOO.
This should be a wide ranging discussion that leads to clearer
instructions to be able to build AOO; especially for new volunteers.

I think the Step-by-Step guide should be split by OS, and be the main
guide. Whether it should also be split by AOO version depends on how
much is different between versions.

Hi Keith,
Thanks for volunteering to help with this.
I have a few thoughts on the step-by-step pages.
1. Break it by AOO version and then OS. I think there are many sections
that are probably obsolete now and it's hard to tell, especially for
someone new.
2. Maybe a section or a new page on configuration options and uses-cases
on when to use which ones for different platforms. This has always been
a point of confusion for me.
Like I mentioned in another thread where I'm trying to build latest on
CentOS 8. I have some VM's setup to test build instructions and I think
I'll add a few more Linux's like Ubuntu or Debian.
Since I have one ready and I'm stuck building CentOS 8 I'll start on
CentOS 7.
So I guess I'm doing some volunteering too ;)
I'll let you know what I find.
Best regards,
Carl

Hi Peter,
Thanks for the feedback.
So maybe we should leave that one out of the basic instructions and
include it in a configure options section.
On the step by step page there are a lot of flags used in different
platform examples.
May these have changed over the years as well.
I see these used in some examples but I don't know what they do.
--disable-odk
--disable-binfilter
|--disable-gconf
|Is there a page that describes all the configure options?
Thanks,
Carl

Is there needed a special build?
How can I start the debug mode?

Hi Carl,
--enable-dbgutil
Will activate assertion errors. We have a lot of them.
The one you have found i started to analyses at
https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=128272
I know now there is some IDL to look at, but did not pick up the investigation again.
If anyone knows something then just write it up will help.
There is another Issue where I posted a lot of other assertion errors. So if you start using OO with debug option enabled it will always pop some assertion error up without crashing.

in my VM with build --all -P2 -- -P2 I need more than 12 h too.
At the sponsored maschine with build --all -P2 -- -P8 it takes a little
bit more than 1 h.

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

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.

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.

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.

Hi Keith,
These are my notes from building on a fresh VM with CentOS 7 and a basic
Gnome Desktop with no additional packages for software development
installed.
*** If anyone spots any unneeded dependencies or changes to my configure
flags let us know. ***
Building on CentOS 7 64bit VMwith 4G ram allocated.

# comments for background info that don't need to be included.
Need EPEL repo (check with "yum repolist")
$ sudo yum install epel-release
$ sudo yum update -y
# my system came OTB with OpenJDK 7 and 8 packages installed.
# java 8 was the system current version so I went with that.
#
# I'm told by Damjan that gstreamer (v0.1) is not needed so I removed it
from the list but I already the packages installed.
#
# hamcrest is installed with junit but configure doesn't find it.
# it installed into:
# /usr/share/java/hamcrest/
# without hamcrest or version in the jar names
# all.jar
# core.jar
# generator.jar
# integration.jar
# library.jar
# so I used the hamcrest flag in the configure command

It would probably be good to have a separate section for broken builds
and partial and full cleaning but I need help with that too ;)
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Now I'm going to setup a Debian VM and work on that one.
Thanks,
Carl

Re: Restructuring AOO Build Guide
Posted by Yury <yu...@gmail.com>.
Can't login now (and won't be able to for a while), so putting some comments
here:
I think there definitely should be examples, 1-2 for every place where
variants are supposed to occur. If that's a 'one size fits all' guide (both
experienced guys and building newbies), than '<something>' convention might
be somewhat confusing. I seem to remember MS internal help uses another kind
of braces for such stuff.
Do not remove the mention(s) of SVN repository completely - external sources
might exist still pointing to it. Just move it to a subpoint, with a
suitable comment(s). (Is it going to be phased out? Is it synchronised? Is
it read-only? What stuff does it hold?)
Mention unowinreg.dll.
Is the 'clean' procedure described in the 'Incompatible Build' actually
tested and 'official' way to do 'make clean'? I can't check right now, but
like 2-3 weeks ago I had problems.
The Scons materiel in earlier topics posted by Damjan Jovanovic might be
mentioned, too.
