As you found out, OOo needs to be installed for proper operation -
you can kind of make the build do that for you, by setting
PKGFORMAT=installed. Then,
instsetoo_native/<yourplatform>/OpenOffice/installed/... will
contain a ready-made OOo installation.
Even easier is using ooo-build
(http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Ooo-build), that's a build
system & set of patches around OOo, that basically makes building a
./configure
./download (to grab build prerequisites)
make
ooinstall -l <target_dir>
Thanks Thorsten, I will have a try of Ooo-build. Do you recommend
Ooo-build or vanilla ones? By the way, since I only want to hack some
new features for Impress, is there any way I can check out and compile
codes only for Impress? I knew the concept of 'solver' from
http://www.openoffice.org/dev_docs/source/solver.html, which seems just
what I want. But the article is about 7 years old, and I couldn't find
more useful information now. Do you have any suggestion for my
situation? Is there any smart way to avoid downloading all the source
tree? Thanks a lot.
So, could anyone give me some hints for this weird situation? Why can't
I just launch applications in solver/680/unxlngi6.pro/bin/ directdory? I
have googled the problem, some article suggest setting
OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=none, but it is of no use. So, if I have to install
those packages after each modifications, it is very inconvenient for
testing and debugging.
True. Usually people manually copy libraries from solver to installation
to avoid this situation - ooo-build's ooinstall conveniently integrates a
script that symlinks solver & installation, so that's taken care of
there (vanilla OOo's version of that script is currently broken).
HTH,
