Openoffice.org-2.0.0 seems to lack support for Mozilla Addressbook in Gentoo. Here is an old thread from the forums: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=106208 And the USE-flags used: app-office/openoffice-2.0.0 +curl +eds -gnome +gtk +java -kde +ldap +mozilla -nas +xml2 +zlib

With USE=mozilla set, openoffice is compiled with --with-system-mozilla and --enable-mozilla. Mozilla addressbook connectivity cannot be built --with-system-mozilla. USE=-mozilla disables sets both --without-system-mozilla and --disable-mozilla and again, Mozilla addressbook connectivity is not built.
I don't use it, so could you please describe the problem, what happens / what should happen. Pointing to a ancient discussion on the forums doesn't help too much ;) Also: Does it work with the -bin?
In the older versions mozilla support would just not build. It needed stuff but wasn't clear about it, except that it was from an old mozilla version. I'm not sure about 2.0 though
@Paul: If you talk about the internal mozilla-build: No this still does not work (at least the last time I checked, which was already 2.0-something)
According to OpenOffice Help and other sources, under File -> Wizards -> Address Data Source you should be able to select Mozilla / Netscape as your addressbook source. With OpenOffice.org 2.0, and all earlier versions I have tried, compiled with emerge openoffice, this option is not available. I expect it to work as documented. If I emerge openoffice-2.0.0 with mozilla use flag set, ./configure of openoffice source tree is run with options --with-system-mozilla and --enable-mozilla. The ./configure script reports, that Mozilla addressbook connectivity cannot be built when --with-system-mozilla is used. If I emerge openoffice-2.0.0 with USE=-mozilla, ./configure is run with options --without-system-mozilla and --disable-mozilla. Now the ./configure script reports that Mozilla addressbook connectivity will not be built. Could someone please tell me how to emerge openoffice-2.0.0 so, that ./configure is run with options --without-system-mozilla and --enable-mozilla. This would be the logical way to have ./configure atleast try to enable the Mozilla addressbook connectivity module.

See my comment above, the internal mozilla stuff is broken
Just checked, if I go to File -> Wizards -> Address Data Source the first listed point is Mozilla / Netscape followed by Thunderbird Btw. What do you want to achieve, I assume connect to an already setup Mozilla adressbook?

I don't exactly need this feature, it's more like would be nice to have, but this is still a bug IMHO.

The internal mozilla build won't help you in your problem too, as this - if it would work - would build the support for the internal mozilla version (which is quite old) only. Also using an internal mozilla-stuff would open lot's of security problems. See for instance: http://lists.debian.org/debian-openoffice/2005/12/msg00042.html

The internal mozilla build So there is a way to enable support for addressbook in system-mozilla? Mine is emerged with: www-client/mozilla-1.7.12-r2 +crypt -debug -gnome +ipv6 +java +ldap +mozcalendar -mozdevelop -moznocompose -moznoirc -moznomail -moznoxft -mozsvg +postgres +ssl +truetype -xinerama +xprint Maybe I should enable mozdevelop in mozilla? > won't help you in your problem too, as this - if it would work - would build > the support for the internal mozilla version (which is quite old) only. Also > using an internal mozilla-stuff would open lot's of security problems. Agreed.
