Bug 52483 – Openoffice 1.1.1-r1 fails to emerge (can't find javac)

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description M. Creidieki Crouch 2004-05-30 12:15:43 UTC]

I was installing a new system, and after finishing the Installation section of the handbook, typed

"emerge -UaD portage gnome emacs xmms mozilla-firefox tetex openoffice xscreensaver foldingathome xpdf"

This failed, with the error

"
checking try to compile exception code... Exceptions type: dwarf2
checking for STLport4 headers... using internal stlport.
checking whether to build with Java support... yes
configure: error: /opt/blackdown-jre-1.4.1/bin/javac not found set with_jdk_home
 
!!! ERROR: app-office/openoffice-1.1.1-r1 failed.
!!! Function src_compile, Line 335, Exitcode 1
!!! (no error message)
"

I have had this problem on other installations.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install a new Gentoo system
2. Set use flags as I have (see "emerge info" section)
3. emerge openoffice




Output of emerge info--

Seems like the dependency on >=virtual/jre-1.4.1 should be >=virtual/jdk-1.4.1

Unless you set FORCE_JAVA=yes you shouldn't be able to merge it with blackdown-jre as your vm.

From the ebuild:

emerge blackdown-jdk
java-config --set-system-vm=blackdown-jdk-<VERSION>
env-update
source /etc/profile

and then merge openoffice

[Comment 2 Paul de Vrieze (RETIRED) 2004-06-07 01:57:37 UTC]

Actually the openoffice ebuild does require the jdk for building. For running it only requires a jre. FORCE_JAVA is only for ensuring that a tested version of java is used. Note however that openoffice does actually build with the jdk's of all vendors (except gcj, which is untested, but might work with some fidling to create wrappers)

Is this still a problem for you or can we close the bug?

[Comment 4 Andreas Proschofsky (RETIRED) 2005-01-23 13:21:24 UTC]

Looks like a user setup problem, also no feedback for quite some time, closing
