Description Imad R. Faiad 2004-01-30 02:58:26 UTC
the official openoffice-1.1.0 ships a pre final version of freetype-2.1.4.
so, I thought it would be a good idea to compile oo1.1 with freetype-2.1.5.
while beauty is in the eye of the beholder, as far as I could discern, fonts
do indeed look marginally better with this ebuild.

the new ebuild is based on suka's openoffice-1.1.0-r3.ebuild, which
has recently appeared in the portage tree.

for some reason the aformentioned build is still masked in the portage tree.

I have successfully compiled the r3 ebuild with the following compiler flags:
CFLAGS="-march=pentium4 -mcpu=pentium4 -mfpmath=sse -msse2 -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer"
CXXFLAGS=${CFLAGS}

please note that "-fomit-frame-pointer" is filtered in the ebuild.
an attempt to build with "-fomit-frame-pointer" un-filtered failed.
my gcc version is:
gcc version 3.3.2 20031218 (Gentoo Linux 3.3.2-r5, propolice-3.3-7)

revised ebuild

use sed to patch ${S}/freetype/makefile.mk, so
${FILESDIR}/${PV}/freetype.mk is no longer needed.
one less file to maintain :-)

we can probably close this bug...

closing as this is now obsolete
