Description Francesco Turco 2013-01-10 15:41:43 UTC
At http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-amd64-faq.xml#OOo the AMD64 FAQ still refers to openoffice and openoffice-bin packages. While openoffice-bin is still present in the Portage tree, openoffice isn't. As far as I understand Gentoo is switching to LibreOffice, so references should be changed to libreoffice and libreoffice-bin.

Reproducible: Always

I want to add 2 points:

1) please point forums/bugzilla to https
2) You should use simple CFLAGS to avoid future problems with your system. Supported CFLAGS are -O2 -march=k8 -pipe for AMD systems. Intel Core2-based systems (EM64T) should use -O2 -march=core2 -pipe. If you're on an old Intel Pentium 4 that supports EM64T, then use -O2 -march=nocona -pipe.

Is not true at all, because for example the new core i* may have -march=corei7. So , I'd say to suggest native or x86_64
Comment 2 nm (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2013-01-14 06:35:47 UTC
fixed in CVS, along with all the other docs that refer to unavailable versions of openoffice.

normally you'd file this in a separate bug, but i took care of it for you. changed to -march=native for all platforms, since that offers smart CPU detection and flag generation.
