[Libreoffice] First build from sources

[Thomas Klausner]

Hi!

I've followed
http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/LibreOffice/HowToBuild
to set up building from git sources on NetBSD.

While doing that, I found the following issues:
1) automake-1.11.1 complains a lot about GNU make extensions in
Makefile.am files:

Not completely sure what to do about those, except ignore them.

2) configure searches for png.h in default paths, I think it should
use pkg-config instead. Suggested patch attached.

3) configure, when running, complains:
config.status: WARNING:  'bin/piece/sys-setup.in' seems to ignore the --datarootdir setting
This happens because the file uses mandir, see
http://www.gnu.org/software/hello/manual/autoconf/Changed-Directory-Variables.html
Suggested patch attached.

4) configure ignores --with-num-cpus (even though the wiki says to use
it); --with-max-jobs seems to be handled better. Which one do we want,
or do we want both?

5) download has /usr/bin/perl hardcoded as interpreter; it should
probably use "/usr/bin/env perl" instead.
Suggested patch attached.

6) perl warns when running the "download" script:
Switch will be removed from the Perl core distribution in the next major release. Please install it from CPAN. It is being used at download, line 2.
Not sure what to do about that.

7) patches/apply.pl is unhappy about the version number returned by
NetBSD's patch:
Patch version 2.0-12u8-NetBSD
Use of uninitialized value $ver_line in pattern match (m//) at /archive/cvs/libreoffice/build/patches/apply.pl line 924.
Can't get patch version
Usually, NetBSD patch works fine, do we want to force GNU patch or
should I change it to accept NetBSD's patch as well?

And a final question: how do I need to change the wiki instructions
for git+ssh access?

Thanks,
 Thomas
