I successfully compiled LibreOffice-4.4.0.3, closely based (with a few very minor, idiosyncratic exceptions) on the _excellent_ procedure detailed in the BLFS Book v2015-02-02. As always, many thanks to the developers for their dedication, hard work and great output. (exceptions: no double quotes on '--with-vendor=' and no "=yes" on '--enable-release-build'; I'm of the less-is-more school :)
The questions/confusion and pleading for help on the JPEG situation were triggered by this "incident" while trying to compile LO: At one point, the compilation would fail on an error to the effect that POPPLER needs JPEG v7 ?! 1. For the record, I had the latest versions of libjpeg-turbo-1.4.0 (--with-jpeg8) and poppler-0.30.0 2. My relevant '/usr/lib' situation looked something like ls -og libjpeg.so* libjpeg.so -> libjpeg.so.8.0.2 libjpeg.so.8 -> libjpeg.so.8.0.2 504462 2015-02-01 23:21 libjpeg.so.8.0.2 3. On a dare, I created a new symlink libjpeg.so.7 -> libjpeg.so.8.0.2 and rebuilt poppler-0.30.0 The LO compilation finally ran smoothly all the way (like it should:) 4. Note #1 libjpeg-turbo-1.4.0 calls for a "fix" before the install proper: rm -f /usr/lib/libjpeg.so* and then installs a JPEG v8.0.2 (?) 5. Note #2 Apparently, LO-4.4.0.3 prefers a JPEG v9 (if you don't use "--with-system-jpeg"): The then corresponding(?) LO download appears to be a tarball, 'jpegsrc.v9a.tar.gz'. ------ I would appreciate anybody who could settle for me at least these two questions: 1. What my 'ls -og /usr/lib/libjpeg.so*' should look like. 2. What are the latest "authorized" JPEG versions; 8 or 9, 8 and 9, etc. Any additional help on this confusing (for me) stuff would be a valuable bonus. Thanks, -- Alex
