Following up on my own musings ... Compiling OO 2.1.0 on a second machine failed. As I use identical scripts to build 4 machines (although I do use slightly different optimization flags (which are ignored by Openoffice anyway) and although the build sequence is not always synchronous, but as long as the prerequisites are there in time ...) this was certainly unexpected.
The error was: /bin/sh ../mkinstalldirs ../data/out ../data/out/build ../test/testdata/out ../test/testdata/out/build ICU_DATA=../data/out/build LD_LIBRARY_PATH=../common:../i18n:../tools/toolutil:../layout:../layoutex:../extra/ustdio:../tools/ctestfw:../data/out:../data:../stubdata/:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH ../tools/genpname/genpname -d ../data/out/build mkdir ../data/out mkdir ../data/out/build Error: Unable to create data memory make[1]: *** [../data/out/build/icudt26l_pnames.icu] Error 1 make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... mkdir ../test/testdata/out mkdir ../test/testdata/out/build make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/lfs/jim-openoffice-2.1.0/OOE680_m6/icu/unxlngi6.pro/misc/build/icu/source/data' make: *** [all-recursive] Error 2 dmake: Error code 2, while making './unxlngi6.pro/misc/build/so_built_so_icu' '---* tg_merge.mk *---' ERROR: Error 65280 occurred while making /var/lfs/jim-openoffice-2.1.0/OOE680_m6/icu dmake: Error code 1, while making 'build_instsetoo_native' '---* *---' Build of openoffice-2.1.0 failed in stage jimMake I loath these wonderful error messages! Ok, something can go wrong, no deal. But I do want to know *what* went wrong in order to get an idea for how to fix it. "Unable to create data memory" is just not helpful. FWIW: The machine in question is a Core2 Due with 2 GiB of RAM and about 20 GB free space on the filesystem. The machine where Openoffice built was a Pentium 4 with 512 MiB of RAM and 8 GB of free filesystem space. Go figure.
