This should be harmless. - -* It is at present time not possible to use --with-local-solenv to point - to a solenv residing at a non-standard location. - -* The configure script also creates a bootstrap script in the top-level - directory to support the creation of the build executable tools needed to - bootstrap the build process. These tools normally reside in the - solenv/$OUTPATH/bin directory for the supported platforms. It is hoped that - these tools will be removed from the solenv tree at some stage. - -Running configure on Windows NT: -------------------------------- - -* configure must be run from the Cygnus bash shell. On the bash command line - type "bash configure <options>" to run the script. The generated winenv.bat - file must then be executed from the 4NT shell in which you will be building - OpenOffice.org - -* The path to the Microsoft C/C++ compiler home directory must be given as an - MS-DOS format path on the command line with the configure option - --with-cl-home. MS-DOS format names are <8 characters in length and don't - contain spaces. To get the MS-DOS format of a Windows pathname select the - directory in a window and right-click and choose properties. - -* configure automatically copies the top level makefile.rc from the - config_office directory to the top level directory when run. If you are not - running configure and are using a pre-generated winenv.bat to set up the - build environment, then you must manually copy the makefile.rc file in - config_office to the top level directory. - -* It is recommended that you close the Cygnus bash shell before you start the - build as it might cause problems later on. - - -Some quasi standards for configure ----------------------------------- - -* configure will use four type of parameters: - - --with-xyz-home to locate an executable tool and related libraries, eg jdk. - - --with-xyz to locate a library of that type - - --without-xyz to disable a library, not always available. - - --enable-xyz to set a compile feature such as debugging. - -* Try and make tests as generic as possible, specific is good for early testing - of a feature but don't keep the pattern, make it generic quickly. - -* configure should terminate with an error if it does not locate something that - is needed for a build to succeed, note that this conflicts with previous - standards which had a manual entry override. This is less than successful - configure either works or it fails, no data entry allowed. - -Premises for configure ----------------------- - -* This is not a true autoconf project. The code base is huge and the ability - to test for everything is impossible. We are currently supporting only a - subset of compilers therefore do not need a lot of testing on compiler - capabilities. +See <http://tools.openoffice.org/#Build> for build instructions. |
