[gentoo-user] OpenOffice build failed.

Hi,

 I tried to build OpenOffice from source. After hours of copmiling it
 fails with:

Good Lord man... why would you want to compile OO from source?

emerge openoffice-bin

 Since gentoo offers this...

 Or in other words:
 Why does gentoo offer it, if one needs to be god to get it run ???

Re: [gentoo-user] OpenOffice build failed.

[Richard Broersma Jr]

I was having problems getting OO to build.  I issued the following bug report. 
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=126937

In my case the it was due to a hardware issue.  I kept retrying the emerge and at last it
succeeded (on a very very cold evening...).  My best guess is that the large volume of builds was
causing my CPU to over heat.  This guess was bolster by the fact that I am able to get consistent
successful builds of OO when I pull of the computer's case and direct a cooling fan on the
computers internals. :-)

I realize my "fix/work around" might not sit well with most people.  But in my defense, it is just
a toy computer that I have fun tinkering around with.

I compile mine from source too.  If I wanted binary ones I would use
Mandrake, Mandriva or whatever it is called this week.  Never had that
error before though.

If you want to test the cooling system, compile OOo or kde-meta.  That
will bring out all the heat bugs for sure.  Unless you run folding like
me.  That will do it too.

Maybe because he is using an architecture for which the bin package is
not available? It takes around 16 hours to compile 2.0.2 on my laptop.
but it's better than using 1.1.2.

This looks like the error I was getting, see
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=126587. The solution was twofold,
first re-emerge the latest hunspell, then emerge openoffice-2.0.2-r2 (not
the r1 you are trying).

That's a bit kludgy. Why not set PORTAGE_TMPDIR to a suitable directory,
either in make.conf or when running the emerge.

Hi,

As suggested I tried to install the newest hunspell available and
installed openoffice-2.0.2-r2.

The build failed again with the same error while installing.

This time I simultaneously run a script, which logs the CPU core
temperature into a logfile every ten seconds.

The highest temperature logged was 44.5 degree celsius.

Any other ways to install OO from source successfully ?

Somehow frustrated,

What does the openoffice logfile mentioned in the error message
contain?  Also, could you post the output of emerge --info?

You might also do the same with 'df'.  Building OOo requires an insane
amount of disk space...

 2.0.2  needed  4 GB  on my machine: make sure PORTAGE_TMPDIR is big enough.
I have a big  13 GB  partition which I call '/z' for making ISOs etc
& use  /z/tmp  as PORTAGE_TMPDIR .

 I dont know exactly, what you mean with "openoffice logfile"...but
 the file located normally in /var/tmp/portage (/tmp/portage/ in my case) are
 still there. If you point me directly to the specific file, I will be
 happy to mail it to you / the list.

  There were about 9 GByte free on /tmp/portage before I started the

Here is the error:

It looks like openoffice doesn't like the python that is on your
system.  But I don't understand why, because the os, site, and
traceback modules are a part of python, and really must exist.  In
fact portage relies on python, so if python were really broken portage
would not work.

So I guess now we should take a look at the output of:

eix dev-lang/python  (you may need to merge eix for this)
emerge -pv dev-lang/python
env | grep PYTHON
python -c "import sys ; print sys.path"

I suppose you can also try running the command shown on the
Systemcall: line and see if the problem repeats itself...

My decision against 64 bit and pro 32 was done, cause 64 bit gives me
a performance gain only in some special cirumstances (beside only a
few others:  when rendering with 64 Bit aware Raytracers) but gives me
for sure trouble with software, which isn't 64Bit-ready (according to
different articles of the german c't computer magazine (Heise press).

When changing CFLAGs on half the way...do I have to recompile my whole
system? And -- only from the logical point of view -- redundancy may
be not a sign of cleverness not a sign of cleverness but it does not
hurt does not hurt the overall context since it instructs the compiler
twice to do the same?!

Bad compiler output is another thing. 

Keep hacking!

Of course, redunant compiler options should not do any harm but:
1.) they are difficult to read for people that may help you.
2.) -O3 turns on a group of compiler switches that are veryfied by
    by the gcc devs to produce good results. The group of these
    switches may change from time to time. Without further invention,
    your custum, today redunant swiches, may break your system 
    tomorrow, after you have choosen to do a compiler upgrade and the
    the actual contents of -O3 have changed. The same applies of course
    to march=athlon-xp. One (harmless) example where this applies is 
    '-fforce-mem'. This option will be completly removed with gcc-4.2,
    does nothing with gcc-4.1, but is activated with '-O3' for
    gcc-3.4.x.

More generally: After doing some experiments, i've decided to use
CFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -O2 -pipe". I don't think that my system would
be noticeably faster with -O3, as -O3 often gains you nothing.
'-fomit-frame-pointer' may give you a few percent, but it may interfere
with debuging. 

>From the gentoo-x86-handbook:
Mind you that using -fomit-frame-pointer (which doesn't keep the frame
pointer in a register for functions that don't need one) might have
serious repercussions on the debugging of applications!

>From the gcc-manual:
-O also turns on -fomit-frame-pointer on machines where doing so does
not interfere with debugging

Besides, by looking at the terminal while merging packages, you will
soon notice, that lot's of packages add their very own CFLAGS to your
default ones. For example mplayer or xine-lib was compiled with '-O3' on
my system, allthough i have '-O2' in my CFLAGS. (As far as i know, "gcc
-O3 -O2" == "gcc -O3").

> Bad compiler output is another thing.

In this exactly is the reason, i told you to better rebuild your whole
system:
1.) emerge -e system so that all base packages (especially gcc, 
    libtool,  glibc, !python!, ...) are ok.
2.) emerge -e world so that all your packages are rebuild with your 
    fixed toolchain.

If you still problems with openoffice afterwards, it is sure that 
they are not related to your CFLAGS. Only then it makes sense to me to
look at this problem more in detail.

Have a nice day,
Matthias

Hi,

the compiler takes the later options you specify, if they together makes 
no sense.

So gcc -O2 -O3 bla.c is the same as gcc -O3 bla.c

and gcc -O3 -O2 bla.c is the same as gcc -O2 bla.c.

Re: [gentoo-user] OpenOffice build failed

[Meino Christian Cramer]

Hi,

 first of all: A BIG thank you to all that send replies to my initial
 cry. :)

 The real reason behind the unsuccessful build of OpenOffice was a
 wrong PYTHONPATH, which I had fixed in the user settings but not for
 the root account. They were rests from older settings, which I had
 took over when starting with Gentoo.

 The current build took five hours to finish, the CPU does not exceeds
 a core temperature of 45.5 degree celsius and the 9.1 GByte on /tmp
 were enough. Now I will remove the temporary installed symlink from
 /var/tmp/portage.

 Openoffice runs well in a quick test.

 Thank you again for all your help!
 Kind regards,
 Meino



 PS: May be it would be an idea to run a "system sanity check script"
 before such megabuilds, which quickly not only checks for missing
 software dependencies (which is already done) but also for a clean
 environment AND STOP the build, if anything is wrong.

 For example: An automatic echo on the console like "found only
 5GBytes (need 9GBytes) on /var/tmp/portage ...you have 3 seconds to
 abort with ^C or I will continue" will not help for psychological
 reasons: One who starts such a megabuild (and knows it will run for
 hours) will press <RETURN> after the specific command and will go to
 bed.

 My suggestion would be to abort hard at once and only when given with
 option "-f space" (force) will ignore _only_ the warning about
 missing free space on hd. Other warnings will still be able to abort.

 This way, the PYTHONPATH problem would have been discovered right in
 the start phase and not after the whole build process when it comes
 to the install process.

 Only my two cents -- your mileage may vary.
 Keep hacking!
 Meino

Where packages do this, should they not filter out the appropriate
flags from the user's CFLAGS and substitute their flags rather than
having both flags on the command line?

Not in this particular case. xine-lib is a good example. src_compile() 
contains the following in the ebuild (and more):

if [[ $(tc-arch) == "x86" ]]; then
	filter-flags -fforce-addr
	filter-flags -momit-leaf-frame-pointer
	is-flag -O? || append-flags -O2
fi

On an x86 architecture it filters out -fforce-addr 
and -momit-leaf-frame-pointer. If the CFLAGS contain any optimizations it 
just appends -O2 yielding that -O2 will be used as stated by Christian 
Limberg. In 'man gcc' you find the following statement:

"If you use multiple -O options, with or without level numbers, the last such 
option is the one that is effective."

So this is completely legal.

And I very much doubt that there are any ebuilds in the portage tree that 
enforces -O3 or higher...

Well, you are right: However, what i said still applies: Lot's of
packages add their very own CFLAGS (-fomit-frame-pointer,
-ffunction-sections are two examples for xine-lib).
