You are welcome, and thanks for maintaining a lot of gcc ports, too. Now gcc42 is the default compiler for openoffice.org-2-devel. So openoffice.org-2 (2.3) will be build with gcc42. > > Drawbacks > > * Sometimes we need additional gcc42 patches for OOo. > > The good thing here is that GCC 4.2 is still actively maintained > upstream, and several Linux distributions are using GCC 4.1 (and > possibly 4.2) without specific changes. Extra qualification is now error by syntax strictness of gcc4.2 and 4.1. Thus we require some additional patches. But I beileve cost I must pay is not big as the maintainers of OOo in other GNU/Linux distro. are also interested in this issue, so it will be fixed by them very quickly. http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=77818 (see also http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=77829 ) All the best, -- Nakata Maho (maho@FreeBSD.org)
