is anybody able to build libreoffice on archlinux

[Łukasz Hryniuk]

I build with:
--enable-dbgutil
--without-java
--without-help
--without-myspell-dicts
--without-doxygen

@Khaled
Do you have the newest version of packages? Perhaps Pranav and I have a "special" package, which covers some default library. E.g. I wasn't able to build LibreOffice with Python from Anaconda.

I suppose that it will be one of '--with-system-*'. You could try to downgrade your system. It only requires changing three lines in /etc/pacman.conf, you can find more info on Arch wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_Linux_Archive#How_to_restore_all_my_packages_at_a_specific_date
As I wrote before, "Server=https://archive.archlinux.org/repos/2015/12/12/$repo/os/$arch" works for me.

I think not, but you can always try to build from ext* partition, if downgrading won't fix that.

Sorry, but I'm not sure, if I got similar error then. I only remember that first problem I had were failing tests.
