Description Gerrit Padgham 2003-02-26 14:09:24 UTC
I know that openoffice isn't supported in the e-build for the sparc
distrobution, but I thought I would give it a try anyway, and added the ~sparc
keyword to the ebuild manually and tried to build it.  This app is rather
important for me as I do a lot of office stuff, and would love to see it on the
sparc platform.  When trying to do the emerge, it gets through unpacking the
source and everything (all other depenancies are satisified at this point) and
begins the configure.  During that time, it generates the following error:

Comment 1 Jason Wever (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-03-04 06:57:46 UTC
Started looking into this.  The reason for the error you posted here is due to the way openoffice checks platforms when it configures.  Right now, the scripts oo_1.0.2_src/config_office/set_soenv.in and oo_1.0.2_src/config_office/set_soenv.1 do pattern matching against the output of "uname -m" to determine what arch it's running.  However, when it comes to sparc they are only matching against sparc, which doesn't account for ultrasparcs as they return sparc64 from "uname -m".  Editing this fixes the problem and corrects the problem you posted below.  However I have not gotten openoffice to sucessfully compile yet.  I will work on it more as time permits.
Comment 2 Jack Morgan (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-05-17 23:25:24 UTC
OpenOffice has assembly in it that won't allow to compile on sparc. Untill this is fixed upstream, it won't compile.
