It opened my usual spreadsheets word-processing files correctly,
but the toolbar needs attention tomorrow. Download is 346 MB .
Build time is coming down I see. The first time I build OOo (on a 686 amd) it
took 12 hours. Now I get similar to you - 2h14
Does anyone know why it wants 'xulrunner', which is not a use flag here ?
It's this:
DEPEND=${COMMON_DEPEND}
nsplugin? ( || ( net-libs/xulrunner:1.8 net-libs/xulrunner:1.9
=www-client/seamonkey-1* )
=dev-libs/nspr-4.6.6
=dev-libs/nss-3.11-r1 )
And later we have this snippet:
pkg_setup() {
if use nsplugin; then
if pkg-config --exists libxul; then
BRWS=libxul
elif pkg-config --exists xulrunner-xpcom; then
BRWS=xulrunner
elif pkg-config --exists seamonkey-xpcom; then
BRWS=seamonkey
else
die USE flag [nsplugin] set but no installed
xulrunner or seamonkey found!
fi
fi
}
So basically it is dependant on the nsplugin USE flag, and will look for
xulrunner or seamonkey to build against. If neither are found, you have an
error condition.
