Bug 65883 – Stable Request: openoffice ximian 1.1.61

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Philippe Trottier (RETIRED) 2004-09-30 00:44:27 UTC]

My processor is a 7400, I tried removing all FLAGS, tried with gcc-3.3.3, gcc3.3.4
and it segfaults. Then I tried 1.1.61 it works like a charm.

My suggestion would be to mark 1.1.61 stable for ppc

[Comment 1 Andreas Proschofsky (RETIRED) 2004-09-30 01:52:28 UTC]

Could you please provide more info: Where does it segfault? During compile or during running the application, also what is the exact error, the output of "emerge info" and so on. Without that information, there is not a lot we can do...

Still I agree that pushing 1.1.61 to ppc is a good idea, but that's up to the ppc-team ;)

$ xoosomething
Segfault
$

Starting anything doesn't even show the splash it just explodes and say segfault, the trouble is if you want more informations ill have to recompile the whole thing and that would take 2 days...

tchiwam: if you want to use my G5 for that, it's available. recompiling openoffice takes about 6 hours on it

[Comment 4 Philippe Trottier (RETIRED) 2004-10-17 15:02:48 UTC]

Peter, I don't really see the point at the moment I am overloaded with work and when the time comes I'll be able to compile it even faster than ever. the 1.1.61 is better IMO, so as soon as it is tested people should go for it. For me it doesn't mather since 1.1.61 is now in my overlay...

[Comment 5 Andreas Proschofsky (RETIRED) 2004-10-21 14:07:17 UTC]

Just want to point out, that 1.1.61 is not anymore in the tree as it had security problems, so please go straight for 1.3.5-r1

Ximian also has the problems with STLport that the regular oo.o has.

Created attachment 47837 [details, diff]
Ebuild patch to apply the STLport patch

Okay, so it turns out that the patch for OpenOffice applies cleanly here. 
Apply the attached patch to the openoffice-ximian-1.3.6.ebuild and put the
STLport-vector.patch from the app-office/openoffice/files/1.1.4/ directory into
app-office/openoffice/files/1.1.3.

Can someone try this and make sure OpenOffice-Ximian builds with this patch on
ppc?  OO-x-1.3.6 can be marked stable if this works.

Thanks!

The patch is in CVS. I'll mark the ebuild stable as soon as it compiled trough.

[Comment 9 Joe Jezak (RETIRED) 2005-01-07 18:14:40 UTC]

I'm okay with the patch going in portage, just be aware that the package still might not build.  I haven't tried it at all beyond patching it.  Hope it works! :)
