Ebuild for openoffice-2.0.3 specifies java dependency as java? ( >=virtual/jre-1.4 ) java? ( >=virtual/jdk-1.4 dev-java/ant-core >=dev-java/java-config-1.2.11-r1 ) This is misleading, since it seems that openoffice could be built with java-1.5. This does not work, trying with sun-jdk-1.5.0.08 as the ONLY jdk the build fails: * There was a problem determining which VM to use for generation-1 * This is because the way Java is handled on Gentoo has drastically changed. * There does not seem to be a 1.4 or 1.3 JDK installed. * You should probably install =virtual/jdk-1.4* or =virtual/jdk-1.3* * It is important to have either a 1.4 or 1.3 JDK installed * in order for the old and new Java systems to coexist * Details about this can be found at: * http://overlays.gentoo.org/proj/java/wiki/Why_We_Need_Java14 * You should run, and follow the advice of: * /usr/bin/java-check-environment * You will also likely want to follow the Java Upgrade Guide: * http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/java/java-upgrade.xml * If you have problems with the guide, please see: * http://overlays.gentoo.org/proj/java/wiki/Common_Problems Which in effect means that 1.4 version is required anyway. Thus the java dependency should be something like "=virtual/jdk-1.4" (or something that says any 1.4 version, but not 1.5) rather than ">=virtual/jdk-1.4", which implies that 1.5 is also OK for OO building. emerge info: Portage 2.1.1 (default-linux/x86/2006.0, gcc-4.1.1, glibc-2.4-r3, 2.6.18-ck1 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.18-ck1 i686 AMD Athlon(TM) XP 2400+ Gentoo Base System version 1.12.5 Last Sync: Sun, 22 Oct 2006 11:00:01 +0000 app-admin/eselect-compiler: [Not Present] dev-java/java-config: 1.3.7, 2.0.30 dev-lang/python: 2.4.3-r4 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r5 dev-util/ccache: [Not Present] dev-util/confcache: [Not Present] sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.17 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r7 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1-r3 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.3.13-r4 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.22 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.17-r1 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=athlon-xp -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/share/X11/xkb /usr/share/texmf/dvipdfm/config/ /usr/share/texm f/dvips/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/platex/config/ /usr/share/texmf/xdvi/" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/gconf /etc/java-config/vms/ /etc/r evdep-rebuild /etc/terminfo" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=athlon-xp -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig distlocks metadata-transfer sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://128.213.5.34/gentoo/ http://mirror.datapipe.net/gentoo ftp://mirr ors.sec.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de/gentoo/ ftp://ftp.ussg.iu.edu/pub/linux/gentoo" LANG="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8" LINGUAS="en_US sk" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --delete-after --stats --timeout=180 --exclude='/distfiles' --excl ude='/local' --exclude='/packages'" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 3dnow 3dnowext X aac aalib alsa apache2 apm artworkextra bash-completion berkdb bitmap-fonts bzip2 cdparanoia cdr cjk cli cpudetection cracklib crypt cups curl cursors custom-cflags dbus divx4linux djvu dlloader dri dts dv dvb dvi edl eds elibc_glibc embo ss encode exif fbcon fbdev fftw firefox flac foomaticdb fortran fpx gd gdbm gif gimp gli bc-omitfp gnome gphoto2 gpm graphviz gs gstreamer gtk gtk2 gtkhtml hal icons idn imlib i nput_devices_keyboard input_devices_mouse ipv6 isdnlog java javascript jpeg jpeg2k kerne l_linux lcms libcaca libg++ libwww linguas_en_US linguas_sk live lzo lzw-tiff mad mikmod mmx mmxext mng motif mozsvg mp3 mpeg msn nas nautilus ncurses network new-login nls now ebdav nptl nptlonly nsplugin nvidia nvtv ogg openal opengl pam pcre pdf perl plotutils p ng pppd python quicktime readline real reflection rtc sdl seamonkey session spell spl ss e ssl svg t1lib tcl tcltk tcpd tetex theora tiff tk truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts udev unicode usb userland_GNU v4l v4l2 video_cards_fbdev video_cards_nvidia video_cards_ vesa vorbis win32codecs wmf xml xml2 xmms xorg xv xvid zlib" Unset: CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LDFLAGS, MAKEOPTS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXT RA_OPTS
We won't be porting old version of packages for new Java stuff, that's just a waste of effort and time that can be better spent stabilizing already ported packages. Use 2.0.4, thanks.
