http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/~dj/OOo-2.0-pre/ That's from back at m118, but should still give you a good idea of what to expect. I know David Ciecierski (as he mentioned elsewhere in this thread) is working with those on current beta2 (m126 IIRC). Once I complete OOo-1.1.5 and the JDK souce build updates I'll be moving back to OOo-2.0 (m130 now) or newer (with how long the gcc4 errors for 115 are taking to display with build tree package deps). I'd wait to see how David does with the beta before moving ahead on it....no since doubling the work. OOo-2.0 is a monster and takes quite a few hours to complete a full build...but if you have a fast PC, go for it :-) The more eyes on it the better...gcc4 _should_ not be an issue at all WRT OOo-2.0 since they've targeted gcj-4 compatibility for the release. As a matter of fact, m128 is where a good portion of the 115 gcc4 patch is coming from...saved quite a bit of time just applying all the forward declaration patches I found laying around. -- DJ Lucas -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
