The ebuild for OpenOffice-1.0.1-r1 cant find a particular file on the system. the file is called LinuxSparcEnv.set and is called listed in the ebuild file get_EnvSet() { # Determine what Env file we should be using (Az) export LinuxEnvSet="LinuxIntelEnv.Set" use sparc && export LinuxEnvSet="LinuxSparcEnv.Set" use sparc64 && export LinuxEnvSet="LinuxSparcEnv.Set" use ppc && export LinuxEnvSet="LinuxPPCEnv.Set" use alpha && export LinuxEnvSet="LinuxAlphaEnv.Set" # Get build specific stuff (Az) export SOLVER="$(awk '/^setenv UPD / {print $3}' ${LinuxEnvSet})" export SOLPATH="$(awk '/^setenv INPATH / {print $3}' ${LinuxEnvSet})" }
Alron, can you look into this. Thanks
looking
none of those arch specific files exist except for the intel file...
Alright, this env set should be generated by configure in config_office. I'm not sure why its not getting generated, should be automagic. Seeing as i don't have a sparc to test this out on.... (this is where that should happen) set_soenv.1: $outfile = "LinuxSparcEnv.Set"; $_machine_type should be set to sparc in configure, not sure why this isn't showin up. Az, any ideas?
Not sure. I added the stuff for other archs at the time, but could not test as I only have x86 .. Somebody with a sparc will have to: # ebuild openofffice-1.0.1-r1 unpack # cd /var/tmp/portage/openoffice-1.0.1-r1/work/oo_1.0.1_src/config_office # ./configure and then check for: ----------------------- * USAGE: * Source LinuxIntelEnv.Set in order to set up the build-environment * variables. * ----------------------- and if this file mentioned is actually created.
The reason this is happening is because openoffice's configure script doesn't take into account for uname -m returning sparc64, only sparc. To get around this, either change /var/tmp/portage/openoffice-1.0.x/work/oo_1.0.x_src/config_office/set_soenv.in to allow the sparc declaration to also work if uname -m matches sparc64 or to emerge the sparc32 package in portage and emerge openoffice using the command "sparc32 emerge openoffice". I haven't adjusted the ebuild for either of these corrections yet as openoffice fails on compilation even with either of these fixes in place.
sorry, i can't really test this...i don't have a sparc...not sure why seemant bumped it back over to me
reassigning back to sparc so we can look into it Thanks
OpenOffice has assembly in it that prevents it from compiling on sparc. Untill this is fixed upstream, i'm closing this bug

Created attachment 15338 [details] openoffice patch that fixes sparc asm problems Found a patch from usenet <http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&selm=20030612142014%2432cb%40gated-at.bofh.it> for openoffice that fixes the sparc asm issues for openoffice. This patch plus another I will attach in a few allow openoffice to compile using ebuild compile, but something hangs during ebuild install. I haven't tried removing the patches gentoo applies yet to see if it's one of those.
Newly added patch fixes sparc ASM problem
Created attachment 15339 [details, diff] Fixes openoffice's arch detection in config_office/set_soenv.in
Created attachment 16933 [details] output from ebuild install
Using the patches attached to this case, I can get openoffice to build. However during installation, the install process cannot find a file and then it hangs. I have attached the output of ebuild install for interested parties and will continue to look into it.
Found that what was happening is openoffice wasn't installing a README in the right place, so when it installed, it puked because it could find it. I'm guessing this is basically due to the fact that linux on sparc is not a supported platform by openoffice. Adjusted ebuild to copy the README into the needed path so it would install right. This now compiles, installs and runs on sparc. I've marked it ~sparc. Marking this case as resolved:fixed.
