I don't think anyone has ever built the "upstream" style distro-neutral packages for s390x. So it's probably only distros that provide pre-built s390x distro-specific packages of LibreOffice. I don't know if RH still supplies s390x packages for LibreOffice RHEL. IIRC it was built for RHEL-9 I think. But even if they do I imagine they are still configured the same way as all the other platforms on RHEL/Fedora are. So that's with --disable-pdfium for all platforms[1] <a href="https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/libreoffice/blob/rawhide/f/libreoffice.spec">https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__src.fedoraproject.org_rpms_libreoffice_blob_rawhide_f_libreoffice.spec&d=DwIFaQ&c=BSDicqBQBDjDI9RkVyTcHQ&r=hIwJXAU1gJvW71raaIvQ2w&m=P3_od7MjZY98ebYUoMFmDelrdCmHF-44SYNEAQf_oWuJ-h3jYnXnBhub4PpFFOIV&s=fZovGstGc4XT0ZWJlyUODkuTIcE_hYJVjUIKfscX0Jc&e=</a> So, if you really need an --enable-pdfium build, then I'd start with taking the libreoffice.src.rpm package for your version of RHEL (assuming there is one, and if not then getting the EPEL, or failing that, then one from the Fedora version that your RHEL was derived from). And try building that yourself, but with --disable-pdfium in the .spec changed to --enable-pdfium and see how far that gets. I imagine at the least you'll need to download and put in sources the pdfium tarball listed in download.lst from <a href="https://dev-www.libreoffice.org/src/">https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__dev-2Dwww.libreoffice.org_src_&d=DwIFaQ&c=BSDicqBQBDjDI9RkVyTcHQ&r=hIwJXAU1gJvW71raaIvQ2w&m=P3_od7MjZY98ebYUoMFmDelrdCmHF-44SYNEAQf_oWuJ-h3jYnXnBhub4PpFFOIV&s=zaKIaPoUekaF2kxblJLkXMgLYC3uDda6sEBQ3zNXSiU&e=</a> I'd try on x86_64 first, to make things simple, and if that works retry on s390x. I'd do two passes, first with an unmodified src.rpm to see if it can be built at all properly, and then with the same mod as tested on x86_64 to try and enable pdfium. [1] I never enabled pdfium for Fedora, and therefore RHEL, because I didn't want to take on the burden of maintaining pdfium, and initially at least pdfium wasn't used much. There was no technical reason for --disable-pdfium.<o:p></o:p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </body> </html>
