openoffice fails to build with USE=mono due to a (seemingly) broken pkgconfig for mono-2.6.4. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge mono 2. emerge openoffice Actual Results: openoffice fails to build on the command: Entering /var/tmp/portage/app-office/openoffice-3.2.0/work/ooo/build/OOO320_m12/cli_ure/source/climaker Compiling: cli_ure/unxlngx6/misc/climaker_version.c gmcs -debug -unsafe climaker_csharp.cs -reference:../../unxlngx6.pro/bin/cli_basetypes.dll -out:../../unxlngx6.pro/bin/climaker.exe climaker_csharp.cs(2297,12): warning CS0414: The private field `UnoXInterfaceMethodTypeDescription.mExceptionTypesHandle' is assigned but its value is never used Compilation succeeded - 1 warning(s) mkbundle2 --static -L ../../unxlngx6.pro/lib --deps -o ../../unxlngx6.pro/bin/climaker ../../unxlngx6.pro/bin/climaker.exe ../../unxlngx6.pro/bin/cli_basetypes.dll OS is: Linux Note that statically linking the LGPL Mono runtime has more licensing restrictions than dynamically linking.

[Fail] dmake: Error code 1, while making '../../unxlngx6.pro/bin/climaker' I do not know why this patch was implemented (have not yet had the time to reasearch), but this seems to be the cause of openoffice's failure to build: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnome.mono.patches/165939
Really a Mono issue...
The patch that was mentioned needs to be undone. There is a bug report on Novell's bugzilla about this. https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=604251
