Jump to: navigation, search

Symphony officially can be built on the following platforms

System Architecture
Windows XP / 7 intel x86
Linux - Ubuntu 11.04 intel x86
Linux - Suse Enterprise Desktop 11 intel x86
Mac OS X - 10.5 / 10.6 / 10.7 intel x86

It's easy for developer to reuse Apache OpenOffice 3.4 build environment to build Symphony's source code. This article assumes that you have already made a successful Apache OpenOffice 3.4 build. If you have not, please refer to the following pages.


Getting Symphony's source code

You can get Symphony's source code from https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/ooo/symphony/trunk/. Please make sure that all the source code directories are under SRC_ROOT and you can locate all modules at "$SRC_ROOT/main"

And icu 4.8.1 source can be download from http://download.icu-project.org/files/icu4c/4.8.1/icu4c-4_8_1-src.tgz, then change its name to af36f635271a239d76d038d6cf8da8df-icu4c-4_8_1-src.tgz and put it in $SRC_ROOT/ext_sources.

The directory/file list under $SRC_ROOT should be

  • ext_libraries
  • ext_sources
  • extras
  • help
  • l10n
  • main
  • README

Building Symphony on Windows

You can make a full build for Symphony with cygwin on Windows platform.

Software requirements

Starting build

You can run the commands below to start a full build on Windows. Please follow the configure switchers strictly. Symphony does not officially support any other configure switcher. 

 cd $SRC_ROOT/main
 autoconf
 ./configure \
     --with-cl-home="/cygdrive/c/dev.tools/vc.2008/VC" \
     --with-mspdb-path="/cygdrive/c/dev.tools/vc.2008/Common7/IDE" \
     --with-asm-home="/cygdrive/c/dev.tools/vc.2008/VC/bin" \
     --with-frame-home="/cygdrive/c/dev.tools/MSSDK_v6.1" \
     --with-psdk-home="/cygdrive/c/dev.tools/MSSDK_v6.1" \
     --with-midl-path="/cygdrive/c/dev.tools/MSSDK_v6.1/Bin" \
     --with-csc-path="/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/Microsoft.NET/Framework/v3.5" \
     --with-jdk-home="/cygdrive/c/dev.tools/jdk_1.6" \
     --with-ant-home="/cygdrive/c/dev.tools/apache-ant-1.7.0" \
     --with-directx-home="/cygdrive/c/dev.tools/directx" \
     --with-nsis-path="/cygdrive/c/dev.tools/NSIS" \
     --with-dmake-url="http://dmake.apache-extras.org.codespot.com/files/dmake-4.12.1.tar.bz2" \
     --with-epm-url="http://ftp.easysw.com/pub/epm/3.7/epm-3.7-source.tar.gz" \
     --with-mozilla-build="/cygdrive/c/dev.tools/mozilla-build" \
     --with-use-shell=bash \
     --without-junit \
     --disable-build-mozilla \
     --disable-odk \
     --enable-category-b \
     --enable-bundled-dictionaries
 ./bootstrap
 source winenv.set.sh
 cd instsetoo_native/
 build --all -P4

You can finally get the installation packages on Windows at
