Okay it works...and startup time is considerably faster, though I've changed some build options from what is in the book. Which brings me to a couple of quick questions.
jdk-1.5.0: The sed works, with about 150 or so javac warnings. Thanks to Ximian's 64 bit build of OOo-1.1.4, there are jdk-1.5.0 patches availible. We need at least two patches from thier patchset either way, but one gigantic patch, or a much smaller patch with an added sed and lots of warnings from javac. Which is better? gpc vs libart: I can't see a good reason for gpc over libart. If somebody can point me to a discussion, that would be great, else I'm thinking libart since it's already in BLFS. STL-Port will be upgraded to 4.6.2 because of gcc-3.4 issues, and will be installed durring the OOo build. The installation requests a motif2.1's libmawt.so. This is installed with the jdk/jre but is not found in the library search path. Since it's needed at runtime, I'd immagine a symlink in /usr/lib in the jdk installation instructions would be appropriate, but I figured I'd ask if anyone has problems with this approach before it's done. I can't see any problems, but it seems that I've seen this lib many times before, but I can't place it and it was not in the usual places on my system. Comments are greatly appreciated. -- DJ Lucas -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
