the official openoffice-1.1.0 ships a pre final version of freetype-2.1.4. so, I thought it would be a good idea to compile oo1.1 with freetype-2.1.5. while beauty is in the eye of the beholder, as far as I could discern, fonts do indeed look marginally better with this ebuild. the new ebuild is based on suka's openoffice-1.1.0-r3.ebuild, which has recently appeared in the portage tree. for some reason the aformentioned build is still masked in the portage tree. I have successfully compiled the r3 ebuild with the following compiler flags: CFLAGS="-march=pentium4 -mcpu=pentium4 -mfpmath=sse -msse2 -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer" CXXFLAGS=${CFLAGS} please note that "-fomit-frame-pointer" is filtered in the ebuild. an attempt to build with "-fomit-frame-pointer" un-filtered failed. my gcc version is: gcc version 3.3.2 20031218 (Gentoo Linux 3.3.2-r5, propolice-3.3-7)
Created attachment 24624 [details] archive containing the modified ebuild files
Created attachment 24633 [details] revised ebuild use sed to patch ${S}/freetype/makefile.mk, so ${FILESDIR}/${PV}/freetype.mk is no longer needed. one less file to maintain :-)
we can probably close this bug...
closing as this is now obsolete
