Re: Making deb from libreoffice source on Debian Wheezy
At least is there an easy way to reinstall libreoffice 4.2 when I clone git again in a month or so? How to replace current 4.2 installation with newer; would ./autogen.sh - make - make install do every thing I need or previous version should be uninstalled?

I can install 4.2 with 'make install' but don't know how to remove libreoffice installed with 'make install'|| ones I decide to clone new version from git. This also forces me to have 4.0.5 as parallel installation instead as primary installation. So - how to make deb (like one downloadable from libreoffice web site) so I can install 4.2 in parallel with 4.0.5?

I would like to make deb files The build system creates deb/rpm using epm utility. So you have to enable epm (--enable-epm to use version that is built when compiling libreoffice, alternatively you can also use system wide installed epm, given it is recent enough and has the fixes that were created by OOo/LO) --with-packageformat then can be used to set what package types you want. you can select both rpm and deb (if you have both rpmbuild as well as the dpkg tools installed), or just one. If you really want deb files similar to those distributed on the libreoffice website, you should use --with-distro=LibreOfficeLinux - that sets almost all the switches used for the release builds (mainly not using system libraries, explicitly enable some features, explicitly disable others) If you only want debs, then --enable-epm and --with-package-format=deb is enough. ciao Christian ___ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
