Build Software Requirements

Software requirements for building OpenOffice.org

Java: at least a Java Implementation compatible with JDK 1.5, JDK 1.6.x or OpenJDK are supported as well.

Perl 5
- for the regular build the Mdiles Archive:Zip and XML:Parser are required
- for committing changes to the repository also Crypt:SSLeay and SOAP:Lite are required

Mozilla sources or libraries: some Mozilla libraries are need. Choose one of the following options:
- Recommended for newbies: Don't use the libraries: By using the --disable-mozilla switch for configure you waive the extra functionality.
- Build the libraries: Get the source from here, copy it into $SRC_ROOT/moz/download and configure will detect the source archive.
- Use prebuild libraries: Place LINUXGCCI{inc,lib,runtile}.zip into $SRC_ROOT/moz/zipped. You have to configure with --disable-build-mozilla to enable the use of the prebuild libraries. The files can be found here or can be reused if the packages were build following the instructions of the previous point. In the latter case they can be found in $SRC_ROOT/moz/unxlngi6.pro of a successful build.
