Bug 210892 – app-office/openoffice-2.3.1: Build fails due to missing dev-libs/icu dependecy

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Patrick Libby 2008-02-20 16:30:11 UTC]

Open office fails to build on amd64 with error:

...
checking for genbrk... no
configure: error: \genbrk\ not found in $PATH, install the icu development tool \genbrk""
...

FIX: Emerge dev-libs/icu and retry openoffice build

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. $> emerge app-office/openoffice
2. Wait patiently

Actual Results:  
Build Crashes with error:

checking for genbrk... no
configure: error: \genbrk\ not found in $PATH, install the icu development tool \genbrk""
make: *** [stamp/build] Error 1

 *               ebuild.sh, line   49:  Called src_compile
 *             environment, line 5392:  Called die
 * The specific snippet of code:
 *       make || die "Build failed"
 *  The die message:
 *   Build failed
 * 
 * If you need support, post the topmost build error, and the call stack if relevant.
 * A complete build log is located at '/var/tmp/portage/app-office/openoffice-2.3.1/temp/build.log'.

JAVACFLAGS="-source 1.4 -target 1.4" COMPILER=""
and of course, the output of emerge --info

Expected Results:  
OpenOffice builds successfully

To fix, first emerge dev-libs/icu then emerge app-office/openoffice
