As reported in Issue 115180, latest Java 6u22 delivered via MacOS software update end of October 2010, breaks the Java configuration in OpenOffice.org 3.2.1 and earlier.OpenOffice.org 3.2.1 and earlier are unable to find the new Java. For all who are interested, there is now a preview release bug fixed version of the involved libraries 'libjvmfwk.dylib.3' and 'sunjavaplugin.dylib'.

Apache OpenOffice 4.1.1 is a micro update with many useful and critical bugfixes including 2 security relevant fixes (details will come separately). Bugfixes include: better compatibility with Microsoft Office files, better support for Mac OS X gestures and scrolling, enhanced compatibility with Linux desktop environments.

As reported in Issue 115180, latest Java 6u22 delivered via MacOS software update end of October 2010, breaks the Java configuration in OpenOffice.org 3.2.1 and earlier. OpenOffice.org 3.2.1 and earlier are unable to find the new Java.

For all who are interested, there is now a preview release bug fixed version of the involved libraries 'libjvmfwk.dylib.3' and 'sunjavaplugin.dylib' temporarily available for download at the following location: ftp://qa-upload.services.openoffice.org/jl162/

md5sum:

These libraries are based on the CWS jl162. (Thanks to Jochen from Oracle for providing these!) This not the official set of hotpatch libraries yet. Please use them at your own risk. Official libs will be provided when the CWS has been approved by QA and the libraries become available on the next official milestone build.Corresponding announcement will follow. The upcomming OpenOffice.org 3.3 will also contain this fix.

To apply these two libs to your Office installation on your Mac, please proceed to the following steps:

1. Download the patched libs from the url named above.
   
2. Close your running office application
   
3. Open a terminal (use spotlight and enter 'terminal' if you don't know where to find it)
   
4. In the terminal go to the location of your office installation and it's corresponding library folder, e.g. 'cd /Applications/OpenOffice.org.app/Contents/basis-link/ure-link/lib/
   
5. move the original libs to backup copy by entering 'mv libjvmfwk.dylib.3 _backup_libjvmfwk.dylib.3' and 'mv sunjavaplugin.dylib _backup_sunjavaplugin.dylib' for example.
6. copy the patched libs into the folder, e.g. 'cp /Users/<your username>/Downloads/libjvmfwk.dylib.3 .' and 'cp /Users/<your username>/Downloads/sunjavaplugin.dylib .'

That's it. Next time you launch your office and make use of Java features, the correct Java settings should be configured automatically.

Additional note: In case you already created the link as suggested as workaround in the issue 115180, please remove it since it does not do anything helpful to resolve the issue. Instead it may even break things.

For people who can't use the command-line, I make a description how you include the patch without command-line. Click hier to read the instructions.

• Building on Mac OS X

• 2Requirements
  • 2.2Optional Requirements

  • 2.8Current Work in progress (Aqua specific work only)

This document explains how to build older OpenOffice source code on Mac OS X systems.

To build the office on Mac OS X several requirements/prerequisites have to be fulfilled.

Mandatory Requirements

• Mac OS X version 10.4 (aka Tiger) or later (if using 10.5 aka Leopard, have a look at User:Dyrcona/LeopardBuild#flex
• Mac 10.4 SDK
• XCode version 2.4.1 or any XCode 3. If you want to use a newer version than the one that is shipped with your Mac OS X installation media, you need to register at the Apple Developer Connection site (free of charge) to be able to download it. On Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard), make sure to install the optional 10.4 SDK with XCode.
• dmake, the build environment depends currently on a special patched version of dmake that you can download and build on demand during configure and bootstrap. Or you can provide a prebuilt version and can specify it during configure.
• epm, the build environment depends currently on a special patched version of epm (easy package manager) that you can download and build on demand during configure and bootstrap. Or you can provide a prebuilt version and can specify it during configure.

Optional Requirements

Prebuilt unowinreg.dll

This library is Windows only but will be packed in the Apache OpenOffice SDK to ensure that it is available on all platforms. The library provides some glue code to setup a working UNO environment for UNO client applications connecting to an office and doing some remote automation via API. The library should be stored in main/external/unowinreg. Only necessary for building the SDK.

The library can be downloaded under

Recommended tools

• ccache

If you intend to build Apache OpenOffice several times, you probably can benefit of ccache since it will speed up your future builds. The first time you make a build with ccache you won't notice it, but the next time the build will go up to five times faster.

You can install it using Fink. It is simply named 'ccache'. For MacPorts users the package is called 'ccache'.

If you don't use fink, you can download and build it yourself using the source provided at http://ccache.samba.org/

There are two ways to enable ccache - one is to set environment variables, the other way is to use symlinks.

Using environment variables:

Using the symlink approach:

for both methody, you can add the 'export ...' lines to your ~/.profile - that way you don't need to manually set it when building. You can still temporarily disable ccache (export CCACHE_DISABLE=1) in case you don't want to use it.

Since OOo is rather huge, you should increase the cache-size to 1 GB or more

• subversion version 1.5.4 or later

Since OOo's source code is managed using Subversion currently, you also need the svn client to checkout sources (otherwise you would be bount to source-tarballs that aren't generated that frequently). You can either compile yourself or use the subversion universal binaries from the subversion project Version 1.5.4 or later is required because of important fixes related to the merge-feature.

Get the source and prepare to build it

Get the source from SVN

You need about 4.7 GB for a checkout from the svn repository. Building the source requires another 5GB.

• check out the latest source from svn

One-Time preparation and scripts

Apache OpenOffice build environment is configured using the open-source configuration-management package 'autoconf'. So you can do your beloved './configure' command, is now done in the main source directory.

To save the configure parameters and use them with different milestones it is useful to create your own build script to configure the environment and to trigger the build.

The directory structure when you have checked out the sources from svn looks like:

Move into main and configure a minimal environment to build your first version of Apache OpenOffice:

Run the autoconf command to prepare a new configure based on the latest changes in configure.in

Run configure

This commands prepares a minimal environment to build the office without any category-b enabled external libraries. A pure Apache license compatible version. See also the configure switches --with-dmake-path and --with-epm to specify prebuilt versions of dmake or epm.

Finally you should run bootstrap to trigger further preparations and to create platform specific shell script to setup a working build environment. On Mac OS x for example MacOSXX86Env.Set.sh on a Intel based system.

Build environment with enabled category-b dependencies

To prepare a build environment that provides more features and make use of further external libraries which are under copyleft but viral licenses you have to explicitly enable this category-b components.

Example build script to simplify user specific configurations

As mentioned before to save the configure parameters and use them with different versions it is useful to create your own build script to configure the environment.

Create 'build.sh' (to be written) :

Put this script into ~/bin and make sure it is executable :

We used the bash shell in all example, since to our belief users of the C-shell are smart enough to figure out the differences anyway. If you want to dig deeper into the build process, please have a look at the description OpenOffice.org's Build Environment.

Doing the build

After running configure and bootstrap we should have a working build environment and all necessary scripts should have been created. From now on you can use MacOSXX86Env.Set.sh to prepare a new shell with a working build environment.

On Mac Intel

On PowerPC

Comments on above

TODO TODO TODO ....

if you run into trouble with --dlv_switch (see: Issue 77360 )

The main purpose of the bootstrap script is to build (if necessary) the dmake utility used. Dmake once was a unix make-clone made by wticorp but got incorporated into OpenOffice since it was orphaned. For more information about dmake, it's history and manpage have a look here: http://tools.openoffice.org/dmake/index.html

Sourcing MacOSXPPCEnv.Set.sh is very important not only for building but also for running svdem later on. Here all the Environment-Variables for the Build will be set up. For a detailed description see Environment_Variables. Please note that on Intel machines, 'MacOSXPPCEnv.Set.sh' should be substituted with 'MacOSXX86Env.Set.sh'.

This Build process takes on my box (Dual 1.8 GHz G5, 1.5GB RAM) roughly 10 hours, and 3 to 6 hours on Mac Intel (3:30h on a 2GHz DualCore INTEL iMac). Be patient.

If you want to see how the progress on that build is you can use two build options to get a comfortable view:

where $USER is your user name. Then you can load in Firefox (not Safari!) the HTML file unxmacxi.pro.build.html via the in Mac OS X included Apache web server or diretctly form the directory /Users/$USER/Sites/. This file is automatically being updated and is showing the status of the build and also the time needed since the build started.

If you build on Snow Leopard (aka Mac OS X 10.6): Set DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES to point to the correct libsqlite3.dylib:

Installing, preparing and running OpenOffice.org

Find the Bundle

Once the build completed, the final product ( en-US version ) is named : OOo_3.0.0_*_MacOSXIntel_install.dmg ( for version 3.0beta e.g.)

And is located in instsetoo_native/unxmacxi.pro/OpenOffice/dmg/install/en-US directory ( replace en-US with your locale )

Install the new Build

• double-click on the *.dmg icon
• drag the OpenOffice icon into a folder of your choice

Run the new Build

• double click the application icon in that folder

Now you can start to work with this amazing productivity suite.

Contribute by finding, isolating, debugging or solving issues

Isolate a problem

Reduce a problem

• make a problem reproducable
• reduce it to a test case that is as small and simple as possible
• if a problem is specific to a document then please attach it to the issue. A mininal excerpt of the document that still shows the problem is even better.
• a screenshot of is a good idea if it clearly shows the problem

Using application switches

Application switches are often valuable for isolating a problem. Most of OpenOffice.org's options can be found its Tools->Options menu.
Some switches are so special that there is no user interface to change them. They are only useful for debugging and isolating a problem, but they are very valuable a that. So a developer might suggest to isolate a problem by setting an environment variable before running the application. E.g. for isolating problems with the menubar a developer might suggest to set the environment variable AQUA_NATIVE_MENUS to false. This is done by typing these commands into a terminal:

• cd <INSTALL_DIR>/OpenOffice.org/Contents/MacOS
• export AQUA_NATIVE_MENUS=false
• ./soffice.bin

Provide a call stack for crash problems

Please note that bugs involving crashes should provide a description of how to reproduce the problem and a callstack.There are several ways to provide the callstack:

• the preferred method is to use OOo's builtin crash reporting tool
• developers may provide a gdb backtrace of the problem
• if the above two methods don't work then please attach a file with the details provided by the AppleCrashReporter

Check against known issues

Check the list of open issues

Report a new issue

Report new issues after you have isolated the problem

Debug a problem

Debugging problems is often easier in an development environment:

• With Xemacs: Michael Sicotte's blog entry

Please note that XCode still has some problems with the executable named soffice.bin (because of the dot in the name). The issue has been reported to xcode-users list.

Open Office Mac 10.6.8

Current Work in progress (Aqua specific work only)

With OOO300 the Aqua port became a mainstream port, so most Aqua issues are handled in regular GSL-Layer childworkspaces instead of dedicated Aqua CWSses. Other CWSses that are purely Aqua specific are being tracked below:

• CWS DEV300 ogltrans4mac : Implement the 3D (OpenGL) transitions in Impress ( see : OpenGL transitions on Mac OS X )

Child WorkSpaces in development

• CWS DEV300 appleremote03 : use the contextual menu in presentation mode with Impress. preliminary step

• CWS OOO300 hotmac : fix memory deallocation problems in exit()

• CWS DEV300 macosxscanner01 (planned)

All patches that developers have that need testing or peer review should be added here.

Child WorkSpaces in testing (closed for development)

• CWS macmiscfixes : misc fixes for mac

• CWS maccrashrep : support crash reporting for OSX builds

• CWS quicklookplugin01 : a plugin for the QuickLook system available in MacOSX from versions 10.5 onwards

Child WorkSpaces waiting for integration

• CWS DEV300 appleremote02 : improve the Apple Remote use with Impress (use MEDIA_COMMAND stuff, improve code robustness, and portability )

Child Workspaces integrated into OpenOffice's trunk
