Bug 8096 – An openoffice ebuild change to hack it into creating a bytecode enabled freetype

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Paul de Vrieze (RETIRED) 2002-09-19 04:43:11 UTC]

The look of openoffice is greatly enhanced by this ebuild change as it enables
the bytecode in the statically included freetype.

A patch to the openoffice ebuild, to have it use the freetype bytecode compiler

Away with ugly fonts

Paul, if you want, why dont you get it working with freetype-2.1.2 ?

Here is a patch to OO to get it working with newer freetype versions:

openoffice-ebuild.zip (The ebuild that compiles against freetype-2.1.2)

I did change the ebuild to build against freetype-2.1.2. I had openoffice
believe it is still compiling against freetype-2.0.5 (by renaming the package),
while it is not. We now have a good-looking fast openoffice.

Added -r1 with freetype-2.1.2.
