 Posted: Mon Nov 03, 2003 10:04 am Post subject: How much space do I need to build openoffice? |
 |
|
Hi,
I recently tried updating to openoffice-1.1.0, and first managed to fill up my var (the ebuild failed, of course), then moved my PORTAGE_TMPDIR to /home/tmp (more space there), but the thing still managed to fill up my /home.
I checked this morning, and /home/tmp/portage/openoffice-1.1.0 was 2.7G in size.
Is it normal for openoffice to require *that* much space? I know it's big, but this seems a little over the top.

| Building OOfice takes an insane amount of space. It took almost 3G to me, however the compiled binaries won't take up much space, around 200M probably. |

Whoah... Is there any way to reduce that? I don't have 3 Gigs at the moment. Maybe by unsetting some more use flags? At the moment I have

emerge -vp openoffice
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild N ] app-office/openoffice-1.1.0 -gnome -kde

Where are the temp files then so they can be deleted. Is this the /var/tmp/portage location? |

Are you asking whether you can delete the files in /var/tmp/portage? I am not sure whether this is your question, but...
Ebuilds will use /var/tmp/portage/<packagename> to compile things. This tends to fill up over time and you can delete this stuff.

| seeing as there are very little things you can do to openoffice with cflags and you need very very basic ones to get it even to build usually I would suggest just installing the binary. I doubt you will even notice the difference. |

You can't delete them. I meen they get deleted after the make step is done.
The problem is that OOffice is a very complex program and as such it's divided into hundreds of diferent files wich need to be compiled and can only be removed after the entire thing is compiled so i'm afraid you're a bit out of luck there  |
