Might be worth committing this, because it's one hurdle that anybody looking at OOo has to deal with. It seems to compile fine on -current. Thanks Ian
Re: Will somebody make a OpenOffice-Port?
Hi, This url is now dead, is there not a port of OO maintained anymore? Why is it that we must use linux emulation? FreeBSD have managed to build a native port I believe.

So is there a (un)official port in work somewhere couse I'm intrested to test it (if it exist). Yes it works fine on i386 with compat_linux. And there is a port for it. You can check http://beastie.hu/anoncvs for our unoffical ports. Or just do a cvs -d [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvs co ports/productivity/openoffice-linux The ports is from Michael Schubert [EMAIL PROTECTED] thanks for it Michael.

Why is it that we must use linux emulation? Because OO is inherently a behemoth to port and apparently noone with the skills necessary has felt the urge to undertake it. FreeBSD have managed to build a native port I believe. That's great for them, I guess. It's possibly that their work could be used when porting to openbsd but I wouldnt know and I have personally no wish to find out. --- Lars Hansson
