OpenOffice 2.3.1 on SGI IRIX (dream the impossible dream)
corn
Using the instructions below, I've managed to get to the step where OO's
modified version of dmake needs to be invoked. It promptly fails with
dmake: makefile.mk: line 78: Error: -- Detected circular dependency in graph at [dmake]
Thrilling. Here's the main problem so far otherwise: instead of using make
and other standard build tools, OO uses Apache Ant 1.6.0 or higher. To compile
Ant requires you to have Sun JDK 1.2 or later installed. And what version did
SGI leave us with before abandoning IRIX? JDK 1.1.8. So, I commented out the
sections in the ./configure script that look for Ant. Downloading and
compiling the OpenJDK or whatever Sun is calling it looks like a pretty big
project in itself, so that'll be put off until later...
If anyone has any ideas, I'll collect them all and post them to the OO IRIX
porting site, which has been dead since OO 1.0.3 so everyone can benefit.
What I've done so far:
Download and install:
1. ccache-2.4.tar.gz from http://ccache.samba.org
2. Archive-Zip-1.20.tar.gz from http://search.cpan.org/dist/Archive-Zip/
3. ftp://ftp.cs.man.ac.uk/pub/toby/gpc/gpc231.tar.Z
cp gpc231/gpc.c $SRC_ROOT/external/gpc
cp gpc231/gpc.h $SRC_ROOT/external/gpc
4. Apache Ant 1.6.5 from http://archive.apache.org/dist/ant/source/
or 1.7.x from http://ant.apache.org/srcdownload.cgi
Ant 1.6.x and 1.7.x say "For the current version of Ant, you will also
need a JDK installed on your system, version 1.2 or later." Naturally,
java_dev from SGI is Sun JDK 1.1.8
5. Nekoware at http://reality.sgiweb.org/nekochan/index.php?path=current/
to satisfy prereqs: neko_bzip2, neko_cyrus_sasl, neko_db4, neko_gconf,
neko_gmp, neko_gnomevfs, neko_krb5, neko_libbonobo, neko_libidl,
neko_libtool, neko_libxml2, neko_make, neko_ncurses, neko_openldap,
neko_openssl, neko_orbit2, neko_perl, neko_popt, neko_readline, neko_tar,
neko_tcsh, and neko_unixodbc.
6. gcc_403 from http://reality.sgiweb.org/nekochan/index.php?path=foetz/
or SGI Freeware gcc 3.3 from http://freeware.sgi.com
7. Xerces-J-src.2.9.1.tar.gz and Xerces-J-tools.2.9.1.tar.gz from
http://www.apache.org/dist/xerces/j/
8. From http://download.openoffice.org/2.3.1/source.html download:

(comment out lots of ./configure dealing with finding ANT. After line 244442
you'll see
if test -z "$ANT"; then
{ { echo "$as_me:$LINENO: error: Ant not found - Make sure it's in the path or use --with-ant-home" >&5
echo "$as_me: error: Ant not found - Make sure it's in the path or use --with-ant-home" >&2;}
and I commented out those lines and everything down to
# { echo "$as_me:$LINENO: WARNING: Ant does not work - Some Java projects will not build!" >&5
#echo "$as_me: WARNING: Ant does not work - Some Java projects will not build!" >&2;}
ANT_HOME=""
# echo "Ant does not work - Some Java projects will not build!" >>warn
# fi
JAVA_HOME=$oldJAVA_HOME
# rm -f conftest* core core.* *.core
#fi
if test -z "$ANT_HOME"; then
ANT_HOME="NO_ANT_HOME"
fi

Maybe the best way to summarize it is that it gets an A for theoretical
ambition but a C for actual execution. Sounds like my freshman year of
college...
