You must know, even I have been making a large effort to support gcc-3.3 as well (MacOSX has only gcc-3.3 or gcc-4.0). I've never seen from your name in IssueTracker so I think you are not interested in replacing this, right? > Maho -- the soul of our openoffice@ team -- is more of an OOo person, > than FreeBSD person.

My first attempt to use ooo-build is already reported at this ML. and amd64 patches for GNU/Linux are here. I saw Jan at OOoCon2005, and from his presentation, it is working (but far from release quaility, though)! But I don't recommend you to try to port it FreeBSD; first, finish GNU/Linux amd64 port. -- NAKATA, Maho (maho@FreeBSD.org)
