Hello; Recently a volunteer had success in bringing FreeBSD PPC support to Apache OpenOffice. There is some interest in maintaining better support for FreeBSD and AOO has support for ARM32. It appears openjdk works too so I gave a try on copying the internal necessary code from the linux/gcc port and provide the start of a FreeBSD arm32 port (aarch64 is not available, sorry). It is likely to take quite a long time to build and I suspect there may be some effort required to build the "bridges" code with arm-clang as well. It is completely untested but, as of today, the editors/openoffice-devel (upstream r1780246)port should be in good shape to get a real port started, should any volunteer wish to step in and finish it. Of course, I would be glad to help upstream changes as required: I just don't have an ARM platform but I am sure it would be nice to have OpenOffice on it ;). Regards, Pedro.
