Re[2]: Building LO from source

Hi Rene,

Thanks for the reply. I deleted the Debian and CentOS virtual machine, so I cannot re-check. My current system is:

1) test@test-virtual-machine:~/libreoffice$ cat /etc/os-release
NAME="Ubuntu"
VERSION="18.04.4 LTS (Bionic Beaver)"
ID=ubuntu
ID_LIKE=debian
PRETTY_NAME="Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS"
VERSION_ID="18.04"
HOME_URL="https://www.ubuntu.com/"
SUPPORT_URL="https://help.ubuntu.com/"
BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/"
PRIVACY_POLICY_URL="https://www.ubuntu.com/legal/terms-and-policies/privacy-policy"
VERSION_CODENAME=bionic
UBUNTU_CODENAME=bionic

I could install dependent packages:

2) test@test-virtual-machine:~/libreoffice$ sudo apt-get build-dep libreoffice
Reading package lists... Done
Reading package lists... Done

The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
gir1.2-geocodeglib-1.0 libwayland-egl1-mesa ubuntu-web-launchers
Use 'sudo apt autoremove' to remove them.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove

3) Then, I had to install fakeroot and qt5-default (autogen failed)

4) But I'm facing this error now:

configure: error: KF5 headers not found. Please specify the root of your KF5 installation by exporting KF5DIR before running "configure".

Any suggestions to fix this?

Regards

Hi,

The "build-deb libreoffice" command also fails on my Debian-10

virtual machine. It says "the system requires javahelper" but can't

find and install javahelper

If at all, "build-dep".

And:

javahelper | 0.72.9 | stable | all

so it's available, of course. Whatever you do, you do it wrong:

# apt build-dep libreoffice

like '*--disable-gstreamer*' at 2 different places. And I would make

sure I really need all the '--without-*' and "--disable-*" params.

Some might impact certain functionalities/features or extensions.

TBH, I don't know what those parameters are and do.

Sigh.

Those double pastes were accidental, yes. Actually those

parameters were taken from a web site (don't remember now). It was

arguing to create an autogen.input file and put these lines in the

file but there were no explanations.

Is it best to install with all those parameters? What I need to do is

simple:

3) I want to be able to install an extension in Calc

And if it's a Java extension, *of course* using --without-java (as you

did) makes no sense.
