Hi, Ragnar. Instructions are much the same as for the version in the book. I do some things differently, though.
1. I install in /opt. 2. I use symlinks in /usr/bin, instead of scripts. 3. With sed, I modify the installed .desktop files. None of these seem to be important differences, Andy's choices are good, obviously. The switches I used have three important differences. First, the switches: VERSION=3.6.0.4 && PACKAGE=libreoffice-$VERSION && ./autogen.sh \ --prefix=/opt/$PACKAGE \ --sysconfdir=/etc/libreoffice \ --enable-split-app-modules \ --enable-crashdump \ --enable-gtk3 \ --disable-binfilter \ --disable-gnome-vfs \ --disable-gconf \ --disable-kde \ --disable-kde4 \ --disable-mozilla \ --disable-odk \ --disable-systray \ --with-system-boost \ --with-system-cairo \ --with-system-curl \ --with-system-expat \ --with-system-icu \ --with-system-jpeg \ --with-system-libpng \ --with-system-libxml \ --with-system-neon \ --with-system-nss \ --with-system-openssl \ --with-system-stdlibs \ --with-system-zlib \ --with-build-version="$VERSION" \ --with-lang="pt-BR" \ --with-num-cpus=$(getconf _NPROCESSORS_ONLN) \ --with-package-format=native \ --with-vendor="LFS-BLFS" \ --without-java \ --without-krb5 \ --without-gssapi && The important differences with previous version 3.5.5.3 are: --without-krb5 \ --without-gssapi && I do not have them installed. (previous versions did not need these switches) and failed to build with system poppler: #--with-system-poppler My script is not very clean, but I can post it, if you wish. About version: it is *my fault* that we are using four digit version. I have seen a distro that does like that, but can't remember which one. The LO site has: "This release is bit-for-bit identical to the 3.6.0 Release Candidate 4, so you don't need to download or reinstall if you have that version already." Therefore, even if it is not strictly wrong, I believe, we should change (as my mind has already) to using 3.6.0 version, instead of 3.6.0.4, which seems to refer to a specific release candidate, not version. Finally, for some statistics: Because the host hardware (new HD) and software (from *buntu to LFS SVN-20120311 "7.1") have changed, just built "Binutils-2.22 - Pass 1" using the same make -j$(getconf _NPROCESSORS_ONLN), in my case, -j4, to obtain ne SBU: *1 SBU = 55.421s* Thus, Core Download (HTTP): http://download.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/src/3.6.0/libreoffice-core-3.6.0.4.tar.xz Core Download MD5 sum: 67cf97e86c75363238a371f64ef5f606 Core Download size: 103 MB Estimated disk space required: 7.1 GB (446 MB installed) Estimated build time: 55 SBU -- []s, Fernando -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
