Hi Pedro, This is great! Unfortunately, it's difficult to test, since openjdk doesn't yet build for powerpc. I tried in the past, but gave up when hitting basic roadblocks (at one point, probably even now still, it required a bootstrap jdk running on x86, which I just don't have). If only there were about 70 more hours in a day, to work on this. - Justin On 05/19/15 19:49, Pedro Giffuni wrote: > Hello guys; > > Just thought I'd update this old thread ... > > I did merge into upstream OpenOffice the bare-bones support > for FreeBSD powerpc [1]. > > It is untested, I am pretty sure you will have to do changes so that > it finds openjdk(?) but editors/openoffice-devel should have what > you need to get started. > > Hope that helps, > > Pedro. > > [1] > http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=1608245 > > On 01/25/14 11:49, Justin Hibbits wrote: >> On Sat, 25 Jan 2014 16:18:23 +0000 >> Alexey Dokuchaev <danfe@FreeBSD.org> wrote: >> >>> On Thu, Jan 23, 2014 at 09:45:29PM -0500, Pedro Giffuni wrote: >>>> My recommendation is to start from 4.0.1 and then upstream your >>>> changes (it should not be difficult).
