I guess that the ximian people don't support german for some reason. Please try it with the US English version. Filing a bug at ooo.ximian.org might work too. This package is still experimental so don't expect it to be rock-solid (if self-compiling openoffice can ever be) My convert from imagemagick wasn't working. Now that i reemreged that it's compiling fine. Thanks. ebuild fails if dmake is already present if I unmerge it compilation goes fine shouldn't be a block for dmake in the ebuild? I think that openoffice-ximian fails to compile a lot :( Perhaps this is the reason for hardmasking the package :( Emerging "normal" openoffice should resolve it? Many thanks in advance :) It is mainly masked because I have not myself run openoffice-ximian. It is very hard to run both the plain and the ximian openoffice in paralel. Further the openoffice builds are very complex. There are many things that can go wrong, as result of which it is very hard to create rock solid ebuilds. In a new version I'll look at hiding the existing dmake (and star for that matter), but for now, just unmerge dmake before merging openoffice, and remerge it afterwards (if desired) Now i've got compiled it. The problems were: need to downgrade flex (because the flex package it's/was broken) and then, i haven't got enough space to compile it, but i free a little, and 7 hours to compile (in a p4@2500) the original bug was not valid, dmake is now blocked by the newest version, openoffice-ximian now has a maintainer, so I think enough reasons to close this bug :-) closing |
