Build timings

Building OOo takes a long time. Some say it takes 2-3 days, while others say only 2 hours. We would like to know how long it takes you to build OOo! Please send us your elapsed time! Instructions on timing your build are listed below. Your reports are greatly appreciated.

How to benchmark and make a report:
  • Prepare FreeBSD
  • Resolve build dependencies for OpenOffice.org, and confirm that you can succesfully build OOo.
  • Run the benchmark script. Download the benchmark script donated by GOTO, daichi. Run this script as root in the openoffice.org port you would like to benchmark. 
    # cd /usr/ports/editors/openoffice.org-1.1 (or you can choose another version)
# sh <somwhere>/ooo-build-bench.sh
  • Report submission:
    Please report your results via e-mail to openoffice@freebsd.org. We thank you very much for your report!
    • Output of ooo-buildbench.sh
    • Comments
    • Date
  • What the script actually does:
    The script performs two builds. One without ccache and one with ccache. This benchmark also calculates extraction of archives (1~2G), removal of the work directory (~4G), and time it takes to package.
  • Discussion
    Parallel building for a single processor is effective, but not exceeding 2 processes at the same time.
    (I set 4 for dual processors machines).
