Packages in bold are required. Dependencies for 5.3.0.1.

[1] changed to epoxy in master

I think that in-tree libraries should be eventually replaced with system ones, as there is little sense in duplicating them.

Feel free to create GCI tasks for these. Check first to see if there are already tasks for them.

Note that vigra has been dropped in master: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=82cdcc392ae07fd230ac3f0ec2c4850681f49c39

[KapiX]

Added libatomic_ops, removed vigra.

[CodeforEvolution]

Found a new dependency for LibreOffice: Apache ant - https://ant.apache.org/

[KapiX]

Updated for 5.3.0.1.

Note that in master, glew was switched to epoxy: https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=482d7ce61b423600b41b459eb26a2cc221cd0acf
This update is brought to you by the song: The Ramones - Now I Wanna Sniff Some Glue

[KapiX]

If anyone wants to hack on it, here is my repo with build fixes: https://github.com/KapiX/libreoffice_core
It builds, but unit tests fail.

@KapiX I fixed a few dependencies in master. I'll complete with missing bits for x86_64 to ease the dev environment​ setup.

[korli]

about boost, the LO configure script fails to detect the version for Boost 1.63 DateTime library, so this probably needs patching.

[korli]

about nss, a pkgconfig file seems to be required (as noted in your HOWTO build commit). Will be added in the recipe.

[KapiX]

@korli Thanks for working on this. I will check everything on x86_64 soon, add status info to the table, and update the instructions.

[korli]

Nss pkgconfig file is now added. I submitted a draft recipe in 8e8cad5. It includes already available dependencies, missing dependencies can be spotted by looking for "without-system". Boost isn't missing but isn't properly detected by the configure script.

[KapiX]

Did you see distro-configs/LibreOfficeHaiku.conf file?
boost detection should be fixed with --with-boost-libdir.

[KapiX]

Updated the table with x86_64 status.

[KapiX]

Closing, since buildsystem patches are now upstreamed to master and LibreOffice can build.
