I've found the problem that was stopping builds on i386. It was because
xvfb-run sets XAUTHORITY to ./Xauthority, which is fine as long as you don't
change working directory - which we do in dmake!
I've modified xvfb-run to incorporate a fix and also remove the hardcoded
display :99. If we have no further problems I'll submit a patch to the
maintainer. For now I've made it into a script to be included in
debian/local/scripts.
So, now the build completes (it took about 8 hours on my 700Mhz PIII) and
the setup program is run. Unfortunately setup exits with return code 1 and
no explaination. I've looked though the Issuezilla and can't find anything
related to the problem. I tried using strace, but the only line which looks
vaguely suspicious is this one:
open("/tmp/sv003.tmp/setup_writerdb.rdb", O_RDWR) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
I haven't found the place in the source that does this yet.
The other issue that I am aware of is that the build will hang during
configure if the JDK home directory is not found, because it asks the user
for input. I think we could prevent the hang by redirecting stdin from
/dev/null for the configure step, but I haven't tried it out. That would
stop the hang, but the warning messages that are subsequently generated do
not cause the build to stop. Really, we should stop if one of these
warnings is generated. Are there any takers for this job? The code that I
think needs to be looked at is in
openoffice-0.641c/build-tree/oo_641c_src/config_office/set_soenv:
if ( $Warning ne "" )
{ print "$Warning*";
print "$newline";
}
Well, have fun everyone making your machines get busy :) Don't forget, Jan
& I are often around the #debian-oo IRC channel on openprojects.
Thanks,
Chris
