I've spent much of the day working on building 3.6.0.0 on 10-CURRENT with gcc48 and openjdk6. I have been using AbiWord but the word-wrap is crazy. Try writing a novel with weird word breaks and moving paragraphs and it's driving me koo-koo pants. Also it does not appear to do right-left opposing margins. I was interested in building AbiWord dev on my machine but the dev team seems very MS-centric, much of a chore using their HEAD. Gnumeric works great, I have successfully interoperated, no urgent issues. on to LibreOffice... I can create and submit a port for libreoffice 3.6.0.0 if anyone is interested in trying the "beta" version. Might take a few days. Still working on it. At the moment, there is one small change to configure.in. It stubbornly demands libclucene-core instead of libclucene. Most of the libraries are built from ports, then using --with-system-foo in autogen.sh -- Waitman Gobble San Jose California USA -- Waitman Gobble San Jose California USA --bound1341465583--
