# start and then quit firefox a couple of times before measuring
# it, analysing results, etc. This is because (I think) the new
# build is probably a different version from whatever you used
# before and so on the first run, the new build wants to mess with
# ~/.mozilla (or something) and that makes it take much longer than
# subsequent runs.
# Patch the recycling allocator thusly (is this still necessary) ?

Building OpenOffice 2.4/3.0 from source
---------------------------------------
svn co svn://svn.gnome.org/svn/ooo-build/trunk ooo-build
cd ooo-build
export ARCH_FLAGS="-g -O"
export DOWNLOADCACHE=~/DOWNLOADS/OOo
#export ARCH_FLAGS="-g -O -fno-inline -fno-inline-functions"
# very slow, and not helpful
./autogen.sh --with-distro=SUSE-11.0
--disable-gstreamer --disable-mono
# --with-max-jobs=2 --with-num-cpus=2 sounds good on paper, but often
# cause the build to fail
# --with-alloc=system is used by default
./download
make
# make now runs the 'inner' configure (of OOo proper) and
# invariably fails. To fix, install 987,654,321 packages you never
# heard of before, that OOo absolutely needs, and go back to the
# autogen step. You probably need to do this ten times or more.
#
# configure: error: \genbrk\ not found in $PATH, install the icu
# development tool \genbrk""
#
# means you have to install packages: icu libicu-devel
# eventually you might get through the inner configure. After
# a couple of hours of flat out computation on both cores of
# a fast Core 2, the build might complete successfully.
# in the likely event of even all that not working, go on to #go-oo
# at irc.freenode.org and ask questions
# eventually ...
./bin/ooinstall ~/OOoBuild/Inst01
cd ~/OOoBuild/Inst01
valgrind -v ./program/soffice.bin
# Hacking OOo
# Use two shells, (C)ompile and (R)un. In (C):
#
cd build/ooh680-m12
. ./LinuxX86Env.Set.sh (or ". ./LinuxX86-64Env.Set.sh")
./solenv/bin/linkoo ~/OOoBuild/Inst01
#
# This replaces all the .so's in the install tree with symlinks
# back into the build tree, so you can then re-run without
# having to endlessly reinstall. It also creates 'ooenv' in
# ~/OOoBuild/Inst01/program, which needs to be sourced
# once before running.
#
# So having changed something in OOo, eg in svx/, do:
#
(cd svx && build)
#
# Meanwhile in the (R)un shell:
source ooenv # just once!
# appears to complain aobut "ulimit -c", but OK nevertheless
valgrind [args] ./soffice.bin
## More notes, 2 May 08
export DOWNLOADCACHE=~/DOWNLOADS/OOo to cache downloaded tarballs
##export CONFIGURE_FLAGS=--disable-mediawiki is needed for dev300-m10
##or not -- causes the build to fail later. Don't use this.
# These are packages I had to install on a fairly vanilla OpenSUSE
# 10.3 in order to get a build working
