Hello,
I was trying to build LibreOffice master on 32 bit armhf Debian 10
(Official Raspbian) on Raspberry Pi 4. I could compile and run
LibreOffice successfully, but some changes were necessary. Here's how:
First, some information about the OS:
$ cat /etc/os-release
PRETTY_NAME="Raspbian GNU/Linux 10 (buster)"
NAME="Raspbian GNU/Linux"
VERSION_ID="10"
VERSION="10 (buster)"
VERSION_CODENAME=buster
ID=raspbian
ID_LIKE=debian
HOME_URL="http://www.raspbian.org/";
SUPPORT_URL="http://www.raspbian.org/RaspbianForums";
BUG_REPORT_URL="http://www.raspbian.org/RaspbianBugs";
This is my build configuration:
$ cat autogen.input
--with-jdk-home=/usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-armhf
--enable-dbgutil
--without-doxygen
--disable-pdfium
This was the problem with pdfium, so I disabled it:
[CXX]
workdir/UnpackedTarball/pdfium/third_party/base/allocator/partition_allocator/partition_oom.cpp
{standard input}: Assembler messages:
{standard input}:194: Error: selected processor does not support `yield'
in ARM mode
make[1]: *** [/home/pi/Projects/core/solenv/gbuild/LinkTarget.mk:404:
/home/pi/Projects/core/workdir/GenCxxObject/UnpackedTarball/pdfium/third_party/base/allocator/partition_allocator/spin_lock.o]
Error 1
Then, I had this problem:
cd . && /bin/bash
/home/pi/Projects/libo/core/workdir/UnpackedTarball/hunspell/missing
automake-1.15 --gnu
configure.ac:11: error: version mismatch. This is Automake 1.15.1,
configure.ac:11: but the definition used by this AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE
configure.ac:11: comes from Automake 1.15. You should recreate
configure.ac:11: aclocal.m4 with aclocal and run automake again.
WARNING: 'automake-1.15' is probably too old.
You should only need it if you modified 'Makefile.am' or
'configure.ac' or m4 files included by 'configure.ac'.
The 'automake' program is part of the GNU Automake package:
<http://www.gnu.org/software/automake>
It also requires GNU Autoconf, GNU m4 and Perl in order to run:
<http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf>
<http://www.gnu.org/software/m4/>
<http://www.perl.org/>

/home/pi/Projects/libo/core/workdir/ExternalProject/hunspell/build]
Error 1
I have added autoreconf to the .mk files, and this fixed the problem.
Here is my gerrit submission for this fix:
Use autoreconf in some external projects
https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/135285
Other than that, I had to remove 'Executable_regmerge from
registry/Module_registry.mk, as it was causing problem for the build.
I expect regmerge to get removed soon:
[API CHANGE] Remove deprecated idlc and regmerge from the SDK
https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/122363
The final problem that I have encountered was that some libraries were
build with a '-lo' suffix, as it was expected:
$ make
...
[UPK] 5ade6ae2a99bc1e9e57031ca88d36dad-hyphen-2.8.8.tar.gz
/home/pi/Projects/libo/core/external/librevenge/ExternalPackage_librevenge.mk:19:
*** file
/home/pi/Projects/libo/core/workdir/UnpackedTarball/librevenge/src/lib/.libs/librevenge-0.0-lo.so.0.0.4
does not exist in the tarball. Stop.
I fixed the problem by creating symbolic links (this if for libwpg):
$ ln -s
/home/pi/Projects/libo/core/workdir/UnpackedTarball/libwpg/src/lib/.libs/libwpg-0.3.so
/home/pi/Projects/libo/core/workdir/UnpackedTarball/libwpg/src/lib/.libs/libwpg-0.3-lo.so.3.0.3
$ ln -s
/home/pi/Projects/libo/core/workdir/UnpackedTarball/libwpg/src/lib/.libs/libwpg-0.3.so
/home/pi/Projects/libo/core/instdir/program/libwpg-0.3-lo.so.3
If I can fix the last problem, I can put the build instructions in the
appropriate section in:
Build LibreOffice from source code

I appreciate any help on this.
Regards,
Hossein
