i have installed the gcc-3.3 masked ebuild from portage (works like a charm :)) anyway, i wanted to install the latest openoffice from source and it said i needed 3.2 or greater! seems the ebiuld checks the version with a '!= "3.2"' this should probably be '< "3.2"' and anything 3.2 or _greater_ should be sufficient. proxy
I actually spend a lot of time on this allready. Just editing the ebuild doesn't do the trick ;-) I allready applied a lot of patches, which actually fixed the compile process but it still dies somewhere during install...
Hello , can you post the patches ? so that I can try to compile too ? bye bernd
You can find them in the Isuezilla of openoffice. Been a while since I last checked so maybe with the latest patches it'll actually work ;-) http://www.openoffice.org/project/www/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=13400
The problems should be fixed in openoffice CVS, I think we would better wait until 1.1 beta3 as there are many patches, and it is easy to mis some. Of course if someone is willing to create a full, working patch-set that could be applied, but it is a lot of work as compiling OO takes too much time.
The release candidate should actually build with gcc-3.3, so closing this bug. Please reopen the bug if rc1 does not compile with gcc-3.3
