I really need OpenOffice to complete a project. I have
the impression that other people have got {5.3, amd64,
OO} working.
Let's see if I have grokked the possibilities.
WITH JAVA:
- OO ~with~ Java requires JDK with patchfiles
- there is no native binary distribution of JDK for
FreeBSD
- to build the JDK, we need patchfiles in
ports/distfiles and some Sun files, an fstab entry for
Linux, and Linux compatibility
- Linux compatibility requires recompiling the kernel;
I've done that, but I can't reboot the box just any
old time -- it's a server
WITHOUT JAVA:
- OO ~without~ Java requires gcc32
- gcc32 fails to compile with the message, "===>
gcc-3.2.3_3 does not run on amd64, and you are running
amd64."
- I read in the archive (January 1st message) that we
could use "gcc-OOO" but all the mirrors return "File
unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access)"; and in
the same post, it was said that there would be further
compiling problems with OO anyway
If you have {5.3, amd64, OO} working, or can tell me
what to do, for the love of G*d please mail me or post
a reply. Will submit patches for food.
