Bug ID: 57853
           Summary: Error: makecab.exe not found
           Product: Wine
           Version: 10.2
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: FreeBSD
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: download, source
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: programs
          Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org
          Reporter: damjan.jov@gmail.com
I got the Win32 version of OpenOffice (Apache OpenOffice, "AOO") to
successfully build on FreeBSD with Wine + Cygwin + Windows SDK, and this was
one of the Wine bugs I had to work around during the build.
This problem is in the main/instsetoo_native directory, the last module in the
build which  creates the installation package, where a Perl script checks for
necessary tools, and fails when it can't find makecab.exe. I've worked around
this for now, but since makecab.exe seems to be a standard part of Windows (is
it?), Wine should supply its own such tool too.
For further details please see the email where I described my experiences, and
other Wine bugs I found:
https://lists.apache.org/thread/x3p7mv0py2s5hw3cvrm1d3krxgb7cq9k
Also if you want to reproduce, you can try compiling OpenOffice on Wine, but
it's a very complicated build environment and takes many hours to run, and this
bug only happens near the end. See the build guide on
https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Building_Guide_AOO/Step_by_st...
and the extra instructions in the email above.
