People are trying to compile LibreOffice in Windows. I act according to this instruction .

Here is this command

/cygdrive/c/sources/libreoffice-5.4.1.2/autogen.sh \ --with-external-tar=/cygdrive/c/sources/lo-externalsrc \ --with-junit=/cygdrive/c/sources/junit-4.10.jar \ --with-ant-home=/cygdrive/c/sources/apache-ant-1.9.5 \ --enable-pch --disable-ccache \ --disable-activex --disable-atl

Produces the following

 Running ./configure with '--with-external-tar=/cygdrive/c/sources/lo-externalsrc --with-junit=/cygdrive/c/sources/junit-4.10.jar --with-ant-home=/cygdrive/c/sources/apache-ant-1.9.5 --enable-pch --disable-ccache --disable-activex --disable-atl --srcdir=/cygdrive/c/sources/libreoffice-5.4.1.2 --enable-option-checking=fatal' configure: error: unrecognized options: --disable-activex, --disable-atl Error running configure at /cygdrive/c/sources/libreoffice-5.4.1.2/autogen.sh line 293.

But this

 /cygdrive/c/sources/libreoffice-5.4.1.2/autogen.sh \ --with-external-tar=/cygdrive/c/sources/lo-externalsrc \ --with-junit=/cygdrive/c/sources/junit-4.10.jar \ --with-ant-home=/cygdrive/c/sources/apache-ant-1.9.5 \ --enable-pch --disable-ccache

Produces the following:

Tell me who faced this and how to solve the problem.

If in cmd I ask to give me chcp answers Active code page 65001

I tried to rearrange VS to a folder without spaces (colleagues advised) - nothing has changed

  • And what a ready exe-shnik does not suit? - Visman
  • The task is set to compile. - Dejsving
  • configure: error: unrecognized options: --disable-activex, --disable-atl - well, so I suggest removing these 2 flags from the command ... - Qwertiy ♦
  • The next command in the post is done. --disable-activex, --disable-atl are given to show why I removed them from the manual - Dejsving

Partially solved problem. If cmd displays Active code page 866 in response to chcp . That compilation will be successful.

866 cp should be the default. It was not possible to find out how to change it in Windows. Settings through the registry from the Internet did not give a result - the console cp still remained 65001.

The compilation failed only on a different machine with the same parameters, where the console responded to Active code page 866 .

The issue of compilation on other encodings has not been studied. It was not possible to put the Windows so that the console was not 866 . All distributions (available to me) set to default 866.
