[blfs-support] LibreOffice 6.1.0 compilation problem

[Dr.-Ing. Edgar Alwers via blfs-support]

Hi all,

I am trying to build LibreOffice 6.1.0 according to BLFS Book 8.3. I did
compile all required dependencies and all recommended ones, without
problems. Then I started with LibreOffice. The ./autogen.sh went also
OK, no errors, no warnings. Then I started the building itself with

"CPFLAGS='-DU_USING_ICU_NAMESPACEE=1' make build-nocheck"

and after aproximately 90 min the building process broke down with the
following error;

---------------------------

........... ( about 18 lines with undefined references  to sqlite3 )

/usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib/libsoftokn3.so: undefined reference to
`***@SQLITE_3'
/usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib/libsoftokn3.so: undefined reference to

/sources_BLFS/libreoffice-6.1.0.3/workdir/LinkTarget/Executable/svidl]
Error 1

make: *** [Makefile:286: build] Error 2

--------------------------

I did not find  advices in google and I do not understand what is
happening, especially as the configuration was OK. If sqlite3 is the
problem, I do not need it with LibreOffice. Can someone help ?

Thanks in advance,

Edgar

I don't know if the above is the problem or if it's just an email typo,
but NAMESPACE is not spelled right.

No, sorry, this was only  an email typo. When compiling, I make copy and
drag from the book. And it compiled 90 min before the break !

Your error seems to come from sqlite3. Try recompiling it, and if you
wish - use the sqlite3 page in SVN. It might run better.

My own build on 8.3 went cleanly, but libsoftokn3.so comes from nss.

At that time I was using nss-3.38, but I've since updated nss twice
(for newer firefoxes).

It seems to me that something is wrong with your nss installation.
Are you using something linked to nss (firefox, seamonkey,
thunderbird are the likely suspects) ? If so, does it, or do they,
work ?

If the answer is no, reinstall nss.

Checking my 8.3 system: as well as libreoffice and the mozilla items
I mentioned, the falkon browser also uses nss (for https://).

If you have only built nss for libreoffice, review your nss
install. And perhaps check if libsqlite3.so has gone missing.
The only part of nss which links to sqlite is libsoftokn3.so.

Hi Ken,

thank you again for your valuable hint. The problem was, that I compiled
SQLite3 some few days _after_ I built  NSS ( the order of the factors
does not change the product, isn't it ?  :-(  ). Well, this way I had an
NSS without SQLite. And although  SQLite  is recommended in the book
instructions, NSS compiles !  And LibreOffice fails to do so.

It was clear my problem, especially as the instructions for nss are very
clear. Nevertheless, I think a  hint in the LibreOffice instructions
would be usefull. More or less: "You need to build nss with SQLite
included, as if not, the building of LibreOffice will fail."  This, for
example, as I did not need SQLite on my PC and so I had not the
intention of compiling it. But of course, I need LibreOffice, and voila,
the problem.

BTW: the pCloud system needs also nss.

Again, thank you very much for your help and thanks also to renodr and
to Bruce
