LibreOffice is a powerful office suite; its clean interface and powerful tools
|
|
let you unleash your creativity and grow your productivity. LibreOffice embeds
|
|
several applications that make it the most powerful Free & Open Source Office
|
|
suite on the market: Writer, the word processor, Calc, the spreadsheet
|
|
application, Impress, the presentation engine, Draw, our drawing and
|
|
flowcharting application, Base, our database and database frontend,
|
|
and Math for editing mathematics.
|
|
|
|
This SlackBuild builds the entire project from its source code. In seeking a
|
|
fully functional LibreOffice, most optional features are included by default,
|
|
using internal versions of any external software components that may be needed.
|
|
This results in a very small number of directly required additional software
|
|
packages.
|
|
|
|
However most of this additional software is also available as SBo SlackBuilds.
|
|
During configuration, the LibreOffice SlackBuild will detect any such packages
|
|
that are already installed and use them in preference to building its own
|
|
internal versions. Packages from SBo that will be use in this way are:
|
|
CoinMP cppunit glm libabw libcdr libcmis libe-book libeot libepubgen
|
|
libexttextcat libfreehand libmspub libmwaw libnumbertext liborcus
|
|
libpagemaker libqxp libnumbertext libstaroffice libtommath libwps libzmf
|
|
lpsolve mythes postgresql qt5 valgrind ucpp unixODBC avahi
|
|
mysql-connector-c++ libetonyek xmlsec vlc
|
|
|
|
Remember, these packages are not essential but entirely optional. If not found,
|
|
LibreOffice will simply build its own internal versions.
|
|
|
|
Also keep in mind that any package from the above list which is detected and
|
|
used when building LibreOffice will most likely become a runtime dependency too
|
|
e.g. if avahi is detected and used at build time, it will also need to be
|
|
installed at run time.
|
|
|
|
Build time environment variables that may be set to vary features are as follows:
|
|
1. enable the experimental VLC avmedia backend (disabled by default) with:
|
|
VLC="yes"
|
|
This requires the vlc package (available from SBo) to be installed.
|
|
|
|
3. disable kde4 support (enabled by default) with:
|
|
KDE4="no"
|
|
|
|
4. support additional languages by overriding the LOLANGS variable, whose
|
|
default setting is LOLANGS="de es fr id it ja nl vi zh-CN". Note that en-US
|
|
is always added to whatever LOLANGS is set. Thus building with, for example,
|
|
LOLANGS="de" sh LibreOffice
|
|
would build LibreOffice with support for german and US english languages.
|
|
Additionally, setting LOLANGS="ALL" will build in support for all available
|
|
languages.
|
|
|
|
5. A number of Java Development Kits are suitable for building LibreOffice.
|
|
The default JDK for this SlackBuild is openjdk. Others may be chosen by
|
|
setting the JAVA environment variable when running the SlackBuild. Recognised
|
|
values are openjdk (the default, not explicitly required), openjdk8 and jdk
|
|
e.g. JAVA=jdk (to use SBo jdk package with Oracle binary version). Using an
|
|
alternate JDK will require presence of the appropriate package when building
|
|
LibreOffice. Since the apache-ant package is already required by openjdk,
|
|
hence openjdk8, its listing in the REQUIRES field is redundant in these cases.
|
|
However it remains listed to accomodate the case of JAVA=jdk, in which the
|
|
apache-ant package is needed to build LibreOffice.
|
|
Finally, setting JAVA=no will build LibreOffice without any Java support.
|
|
|
|
6. The number of parallel make jobs used by the LibreOffice build system defaults
|
|
to the number of available cpu cores. If the MAKEFLAGS environment variable
|
|
contains the -j option e.g.
|
|
MAKEFLAGS=-j6
|
|
then the SlackBuild will pass this to the LibreOffice build system
|
|
(via its --with-parallelism configure option). The number of parallel make jobs
|
|
is further controlled with the PARALLEL environment varaiable e.g.
|
|
PARALLEL=1 sh LibreOffice.SlackBuild
|
|
which would limit building to a single make process, overriding any value set
|
|
with the -j option in MAKEFLAGS.
|
|
|
|
7. Use of ccache during building is turned off by default to save disk space (and
|
|
possible build failure due to lack of disk space). It may be reinstated by
|
|
setting the USE_CCACHE environment to "yes" e.g.
|
|
USE_CCACHE=yes sh LibreOffice.SlackBuild
|
|
|
|
For performance reasons, this Slackbuild sets GTK2 to be used at runtime.
|
|
Alternatives (gen, gtk3, kde4) may still be used by setting SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN
|
|
in the user's runtime environment.
|
|
|
|
Spell checking of documents at runtime requires installation of a suitable
|
|
wordlist for the language concerned. This can be achieved in either of two
|
|
ways:
|
|
1. Build & install hunspell-en (or hunspell-es, hunspell-pl) from SBo
|
|
2. Search for the desired language dictionary at:
|
|
http://extensions.libreoffice.org/extension-center?getCategories=Dictionary
|
|
and download the relevant file e.g. dict-en.oxt. Now open LO's extension
|
|
manager and press the "Add..." button which will open a file browser with which
|
|
to locate and open the downloaded .oxt file. The new dictionary will now appear
|
|
in the Extension Manager.
|
|
|
|
Some people have experienced difficulties building LibreOffice while a previoius
|
|
version is still installed. It is therefore recommended that any previous version
|
|
is removed while building LibreOffice.
