Re: Building Problem

Hi Nabil,

Since these are just warnings, you may continue with the build procedure for now.

And in the mean time, you can take a look at his thread about the same issue: http://document-foundation-mail-archive.969070.n3.nabble.com/how-to-set-JAVA-HOME-td4250260.html

You can also search for "How to set JAVA_HOME on <Your-OS-or-Distro-Name>" on Google.

Hi,

My name is Nabil, a software engineering student at Polytechnique Montreal in Canada. I am interested in participating in GSoC this year, particularly with LIbreOffice, so, I'm new here in the world of contribution to open source projects. I started reading on how to apply and how to get involved in the community and started working on that. Therefore, I am now at the stage of building LIbreOffice from source in order to start doing some EasyHacks, but I'm having some troubles while executing the command (./autogen.sh). I followed exactly the steps mentionned in this page, and the command gives me the 3 foolowing warnings:

•   * WARNING : JAVA_HOME was not explicitly informed with --with-jdk-home. the configure script
  
•   * WARNING : attempted to find JAVA_HOME automatically, but apparently it failed
  
•   * WARNING : in case JAVA_HOME is incorrectly set, some projects will not be built correctly

I spent some time trying to solve the problem by looking on the internet, and have tried installing Java and setting $JAVA_HOME to the right directory (/usr/bin/jvm/java-11-oracle), but this didn't work. I also tried to look for the source of the problem and went through the configure.ac file, and found the part of the script that generates the 3 warnings together but still haven't figured out a way to solve it. Would you please help get through this issue ?

Thank you!

Best regards,

Nabil Dabouz
