I'm trying to compile OpenOffice 1.1 for FreeBSD 4.10 (may as well exercise the lap-top). After grabbing all the Linuxy bits for Java JDK14, I now find it wants a Solaris library under /compat/svr4/lib (libc.so.2 or similar), and this is found only on a Solaris/86 CD, which of course not being a licensee I don't have. So, I give up and install the package instead, but the installation window says it can't find a Java Runtime Environment, and would I like to run without one? Sure, I metaphorically say, only to have it say that some functionality will be lost - OK? - and drops me back to the choice box again. Catch-22. I have got an earlier version to install (from the package), but I have no idea how it handled the Java stuff, so has anyone managed to compile/install OpenOffice on FreeBSD 4.10 (no updates)?
