dev-tex/tex4ht-20070505_p0055.ebuild (bump again)

the newest version, it worsk for me with tetex-3.0_p1-r3

hi, i tried newer version renaming to tex4ht-20070717_p0228.ebuild and 
oolatex doesnt work for me.
error message i get is 
System call: java -classpath //texmf-dist/tex4ht/bin xtpipes -i
//texmf-dist/tex4ht/xttl/ -o exam.4oo exam.tmp
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: xtpipes

i guess that path //texmf-dist/tex4ht/ bin,xttl should be sed-ed to some 
appropriate location, but havent found that yet.

oolatex depends on some java classes.

Ebuild modifications are:
- add >=virtual/jdk-1.5 to DEPEND
- add >=virtual/jre-1.5 to RDEPEND
- add an extra sed statement to make oolatex find the compiled java files
  (see item 14 of http://www.cse.ohio-state.edu/~gurari/TeX4ht/uupdate.html)
- compile the java files
- install the compiled java files
- install the .4xt files (also needed by oolatex)
- replace has_tetex_3 with latex-package_has_tetex_3 (I do not understand why
it
  is needed, but on my system it is).

I tested oolatex on a non-trivial tex file and it works.

another version bump and oolatex works

hmmm, would it be possible to make java optional ?
java is not supported on all architectures, this would restrict tex4ht :/

I suppose that would mean not installing jh* binaries; but oolatex wouldn't
work

Yes, java could be made optional but I would not install oolatex in case that
java has not been installed (I stumbled on the oolatex bug when trying to
convert a latex file to open document from LyX).

I can modify the ebuild if you like.

When fixing oolatex I was wondering if it is possible to use use gcj instead
instead of a default java (I suppose that gcj is more portable than the other
java's). I can give it a try when the gcj invokation resembles the javac
invokation (I am an ebuild and a java newbie).

Yes, please :)
I didn't check what exactly needs java, neither where the class files are (they
shouldnt be installed if java is not wanted).

I don't know much about gcj (even less than about java...), but I don't think
we can assume it's present on the system, it would require to check if gcc has
been built with the gcj useflag.

bumped version and added java use flag

Here you are:
1. the java classes are only compiled when the java use flag is enabled.
2. the /usr/bin/oo* scripts are not installed when the java use flag is
disabled
3. the compiled java files and helper (xml) files are only installed when the
java
   use flag is enabled.
4. add a message that the ODF converters require the java use flag.

thanks Gerard, it's now bumped. I'll make it installable with texlive as it's
currently not possible.

I've done small modifications to match gentoo way of handling java stuff
(thanks to wltjr), and renamed ht to ht.tex4ht in order to avoid collision with
hteditor.
