After a lot of blind steps to try to solve the issue of Harfbuzz/graphite when trying to compile LibreOffice 7.3 on 32-bit, I finally gave up. My limited knowledge on the source code was not enough to solve this issue. In the end, the workaround was to compile 7.2.5, which worked perfectly and without a hitch on the same development machine.
For now, the users of our upcoming version of the Escuelas Linux distribution 32-bit edition are going to have to stick to LibreOffice 7.2.5. Nevertheless, I wonder if this failure to compile would be the result of some slip in the 7.3.0 code or, worse yet, from 7.3 onward is not going to be possible to compile for 32-bit architecture.
Hello all!
I have been able to compile LibreOffice for 32-bit since two and a half years ago, so I believe I have a suitable development environment to do that in all these years.
However, with LibreOffice version 7.3, compilation halts with this error:
[ECH] CustomTarget/instsetoo_native/setup/setuprc
fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git
[ECH] CustomTarget/instsetoo_native/setup/versionrc

And a lot more error messages related to harfbuzz.
Does anybody know what’s going on and how to solve this issue?(Yes, libharfbuzz-dev is installed, as always).
Thanks in advance!
