Subject:	SCOUG-Programming: Star Office build

Content Type: text/plain

If anybody wants to try a Star Office build, this might help . . .

http://www.OpenOffice.org/dev_docs/source/build.html

The software required for building Linux, Solaris and Win32 versions is
shown. I think that all the Linux software has been ported to OS/2
although I don't know if those ports are of the required versions.

No build times are shown for Linux or Solaris. The Win32 build time is
shown as 18 hours using a PIII 600 w/ 256 MB. Free disk space
requirement is 3 GB.

(OpenOffice is the startup which is administering the open source
version of Star Office for Sun.)

For reference, someone told me a few days ago that OS/2 e-Zine! had a
series of articles on porting using emx (I can't find them, try
http://www.os2ezine.com/). Also, EDM/2 has
http://www.edm2.com/0101/emx.html which is dated 1993. When I installed
the full emx a while back I downloaded emx09d.zip from Hobbes and
unzipped it to the root directory; the .zip archive puts everything in
\emx\. (It doesn't like being installed in a subdirectory -- I tried
that. It wants \emx\ in the root directory.) And make sure you set the
environment variables (either in config.sys or with a .cmd file) -- see
the readme and/or the EDM/2 article.

Maybe SCOUG should buy a hard drive and dedicate it to this project. :)
