| <h1>Building OpenOffice.org with the MinGW compiler</h1> |
| <p><b>Disclaimer! The build of OpenOffice.org with the MinGW compiler |
| is not supported and <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">fully</span> |
| experimental at this moment!</b></p> |
| <p>The following page is a short summary of the required actions to |
| build OpenOffice.org with this compiler.</p> |
| <p>The only branch with applied MinGW patches is <b>cws_srx645_mingw</b>. |
| You have to checkout the source with cvs, no source archiv is available |
| as this document is written.</p> |
| <h2>Requirements</h2> |
| <p>The build has the same requirements as the |
| <a href="http://tools.openoffice.org/dev_docs/build_windows_tcsh.html">W32-tcsh</a> |
| build, but you don't need any Microsoft compiler. (Only the compiler, |
| you need |
| all the rest, e.g. MASM and PSDK.)</p> |
| <h3>A lot of memory</h3> |
| <p>Experiments show that with only 256MB real memory ld is using |
| virtual memory |
| to link the libraries, this takes very long. 512MB real memory and |
| 1.5GB virtual |
| memory are suficient.</p> |
| <h3>A patched MinGW compiler</h3> |
| You can either use the MinGW compiler that comes with Cygwin (gcc |
| -mno-cygwin, alias <b>cygming</b>) |
| or install a <b>MinGW</b> system in addition to you already needed |
| cygwin installation. Choose |
| one of the following two possibilities: |
| cygming |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| <h3>cygming ( Either this ... )<br> |
| </h3> |
| In addition to the cygwin packages mentioned <a |
| href="http://tools.openoffice.org/dev_docs/build_windows_tcsh.html">here</a> |
| for W32-tcsh you need to install:<br> |
| <br> |
| <b>Only binary</b><br> |
| gcc-mingw<br> |
| gcc-mingw-core<br> |
| gcc-mingw-g++<br> |
| <br> |
| <b>With source</b><br> |
| binutils<br> |
| mingw-runtime<br> |
| w32api<br> |
| <br> |
| <span style="font-weight: bold;">Get and install reimp.exe</span><br> |
| You need reeimp.exe in your path. reimp.exe is used to generate def |
| files from Microsoft import libraries, you can find it in a MinGW |
| installation in the <code>bin</code> directory, or in <code>mingw-utils-0.3.tar.gz |
| from <a href="http://www.mingw.org/download.shtml">http://www.mingw.org/download.shtml</a></code>.<br> |
| <span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Only put |
| reimp.exe in the path you are using when building OOo, not all files |
| from that archive</span>.<br> |
| <h4>Patch and rebuild binutils, w32api and mingw-runtime</h4> |
| The setup program unpacks the source packages to /usr/src. Get the |
| needed <a |
| href="http://www.openoffice.org/nonav/issues/showattachment.cgi/14477/resres.c.patch">resres.c.patch</a> |
| and <a |
| href="https://sourceforge.net/tracker/download.php?group_id=2435&atid=302435&file_id=67897&aid=844566">pseudo-reloc.diff</a>. |
| patches and save them to /usr/src. Now apply the patches:<br> |
| <div style="margin-left: 40px;"><code>/usr/src:$ cd |
| /usr/src/binutils-20040312-1</code><br> |
| <code>/usr/src/binutils-20040312-1:$ patch -p1 < |
| ../resres.c.patch</code><br> |
| <code>/usr/src/binutils-20040312-1:$ patch -p0 < |
| ../pseudo-reloc.diff</code><br> |
| </div> |
| <br> |
| Rebuild binutils:<br> |
| <div style="margin-left: 40px;"><code>/usr/src/binutils-20040312-1:$ |
| ./configure --prefix=/usr \</code><br> |
| <code> --sysconfdir=/etc \</code><br> |
| <code> --libexecdir=/usr/sbin \</code><br> |
| <code> --localstatedir=/var \</code><br> |
| <code> --datadir=/usr/share \</code><br> |
| <code> --mandir=/usr/share/man \</code><br> |
| <code> --infodir=/usr/share/info</code><br> |
| <code>/usr/src/binutils-20040312-1:$ make && make install</code><br> |
| </div> |
| <br> |
| Rebuild |
| mingw-runtime:<br> |
| <div style="margin-left: 40px;"><code>/usr/src/binutils-20040312-1:$ |
| cd ../w32api-2.5-1</code><br> |
| <code>/usr/src/w32api-2.5-1:$ ./configure --prefix=/usr \</code><br> |
| <code> --sysconfdir=/etc \</code><br> |
| <code> --libexecdir=/usr/sbin \</code><br> |
| <code> --localstatedir=/var \</code><br> |
| <code> --datadir=/usr/share \</code><br> |
| <code> --mandir=/usr/share/man \</code><br> |
| <code> --infodir=/usr/share/info</code><br> |
| <code>/usr/src/w32api-2.5-1:$ make && make install</code><br> |
| </div> |
| <br> |
| Rebuild w32api:<code> <br> |
| </code> |
| <div style="margin-left: 40px;"><code>/usr/src/w32api-2.5-1:$ |
| cd ..</code><br> |
| <code>/usr/src:$ ln -s w32api-2.5-1 w32api</code><br> |
| <code>/usr/src:$ cd w32api-2.5-1</code><br> |
| <code>/usr/src/w32api-2.5-1:$ cd ../mingw-runtime-3.2-1</code><br> |
| <code>/usr/src/mingw-runtime-3.2-1:$ ./configure --prefix=/usr \</code><br> |
| <code> --sysconfdir=/etc \</code><br> |
| <code> --libexecdir=/usr/sbin \</code><br> |
| <code> --localstatedir=/var \</code><br> |
| <code> --datadir=/usr/share \</code><br> |
| <code> --mandir=/usr/share/man \</code><br> |
| <code> --infodir=/usr/share/info</code><br> |
| <code> /usr/src/mingw-runtime-3.2-1:$ |
| make && make install</code><br> |
| </div> |
| <br> |
| That's it. Proceed with the <a href="#Build">build</a> section.</li> |
| </ul> |
| or |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| <h3>MinGW ( ... or this! )<br> |
| </h3> |
| <p>You need to install MinGW first, you need:<br> |
| MinGW-3.1.0-1.exe,<br> |
| gcc-core-3.3.1-20030804-1.tar.gz,<br> |
| gcc-g++-3.3.1-20030804-1.tar.gz and<br> |
| w32api-2.5.tar.gz</p> |
| <p>You have to patch and rebuild binutils <b>and</b> you have to |
| rebuild |
| libmsvcrt.a with |
| the patched binutils. For this you need:<br> |
| MSYS-1.0.9.exe,<br> |
| msysDTK-1.0.1.exe,<br> |
| binutils-2.13.90-20030111-1-src.tar.gz,<br> |
| mingw-runtime-3.2-src.tar.gz,<br> |
| w32api-2.5-src.tar.gz,<br> |
| bison,<br> |
| flex.</p> |
| <p>Patch the binutils sources with <a |
| href="http://www.openoffice.org/nonav/issues/showattachment.cgi/14477/resres.c.patch">resres.c.patch</a> |
| and <a |
| href="https://sourceforge.net/tracker/download.php?group_id=2435&atid=302435&file_id=67897&aid=844566">pseudo-reloc.diff</a>.</p> |
| <p>Hint 1: First rebuild w32api-2.5 and then mingw-runtime-3.2 |
| (This containes libmsvcrt.a)</p> |
| <p>Hint 2: To build binutils with MinGW you need bison and flex, |
| but |
| you have to remove them from the path before you start the OOo build.</p> |
| </li> |
| </ul> |
| <h3><a name="Build">Build</a></h3> |
| <p>It is recommended to use an as short as possible path, but the path |
| must include |
| the Platform SDK Bin directory, e.g.:</p> |
| <p><code>$ export |
| PATH=/bin:/cygdrive/c/WINNT/system32:/cygdrive/c/WINNT:/cygdrive/c/psdk02_2003/Bin</code></p> |
| <p> |
| Now configure, e.g.:</p> |
| <p>For cygming:<br> |
| <code>$ ./configure --with-mingwin=yes |
| --with-jdk-home=/cygdrive/c/j2sdk1.4.1_02 |
| \<br> |
| --with-ant-home=/cygdrive/c/ant-1.5.3-1 |
| --with-psdk-home=/cygdrive/d/psdk02_2003</code><br> |
| </p> |
| <p>or for MinGW:<br> |
| <code>$ ./configure --with-mingwin=/cygdrive/c/MinGW |
| --with-jdk-home=/cygdrive/c/j2sdk1.4.1_02 \<br> |
| --with-ant-home=/cygdrive/c/ant-1.5.3-1 |
| --with-psdk-home=/cygdrive/d/psdk02_2003</code><br> |
| <br> |
| Start a tcsh<br> |
| <code>$ tcsh</code></p> |
| <p>Set your environment variables:<br> |
| <code>$ source winmingw.set</code></p> |
| <p>Build dmake<br> |
| <code>$ ./bootstrap</code></p> |
| <p>Rehash your path<br> |
| <code>$ rehash</code></p> |
| <p>Build OOo<br> |
| <code>$ dmake</code></p> |
| <p>And now wait. ...</p> |
