LibreOffice Dev recompilation on Linux Mint 22.1 for Tagalog translation project

I checked all the translations for Tagalog on Weblate Document Foundation and we are at 100%.

 

Download Linux Mint 22.1 and recompile LibreOffice and check translations

 

here are the refined steps for the recompilation after Linux Mint is installed in Oracle Virtual Box 6.1

 

8 CPU

8GB RAM

64 GB disk space

 

Recompilation instructions

1. bring up two terminal windows

 

2. in terminal window 1 download all the dependencies and tools

sudo apt install git
sudo apt purge libreoffice-core
sudo apt install htop
sudo apt-get install git build-essential zip ccache junit4 libkrb5-dev nasm graphviz python3 python3-dev python3-setuptools qtbase5-dev libkf5coreaddons-dev libkf5i18n-dev libkf5config-dev libkf5windowsystem-dev libkf5kio-dev libqt5x11extras5-dev autoconf libcups2-dev libfontconfig1-dev gperf openjdk-17-jdk doxygen libxslt1-dev xsltproc libxml2-utils libxrandr-dev libx11-dev bison flex libgtk-3-dev libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-dev libgstreamer1.0-dev ant ant-optional libnss3-dev libavahi-client-dev libxt-dev

3. in terminal window 2 to launch htop to keep an eye on resources and progress
htop

4. switch back to terminal window 1 and do the following commands

git clone https://git.libreoffice.org/core
cd core
autoconf
./autogen.sh --with-lang=tl --with-parallelism=$(nproc)
make clean
make

 

5. compilation completed in about 2-3 hours, now create the installer
sudo make install

 

/usr/local/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice

 

7. Switch languages to Tagalog in a new Document in LibreOffice

 

New Document

Click Tools | Options | Languages and Locales | General | Tagalog, restart now

 

Check the Help version dialog and you will see LibreOfficeDev 25.8.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64)

Notes:
1. i had a vpn enabled when I went to compile and resolve of some of the sources failed. disabled vpn and it worked.
2. if you get this message:
Various low-level dependencies are missing, please install them:     autoconf: autoconf is required     aclocal: aclocal is required all the dependencies are not loaded
