Now that I have the font issue sorted out I decided to
test the latest debian ppc jdk packages that Stephen Zander
released...
deb http://people.debian.org/~gibreel/debian sid main non-free
deb-src http://people.debian.org/~gibreel/debian sid main non-free
first, thnx for these apt-get lines, I did not know them :)
Just I drop the java from scratch! :)
He used a new build of j2sdk 1.3.1 which I did that is linked
against a -fPIC libXm.a so that openoffice java applet support
works. I tested this against Kevin Hendrick's OpenOffice 1.0
build. I am having trouble getting the debian openoffice.org
package to do the same. I noticed that it never asked me
where the java environment was when I ran openoffice as a user
the first time. Do you guys have java disabled? The location
of Stephen's java enviroment in his package is...
/usr/lib/j2se/1.3
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ less /etc/openoffice/autoresponse.conf
[ENVIRONMENT]
INSTALLATIONMODE=INSTALL_WORKSTATION
INSTALLATIONTYPE=WORKSTATION
DESTINATIONPATH=home/.openoffice
OUTERPATH=
LOGFILE=
LAGUAGELIST=01
[JAVA]
JavaSupport=none
What do you have there?
Shouldn't we have this path checked in the openoffice.org packages
and java enabled if it is present? I tried running setup from
.openoffice in my account but I was only presented with the choice
of deinstalling it from my account. Should I deinstall it and run
setup again so I can select the j2re? Thanks in advance for any
hints.
For me, I would be pleased, if we drop java completly .. :) It is
non-free, and non-free sucks :)
But, I think, you are right, if some has java installed on his system,
we should detect it and enable or asking, whether to enable java or not.
Chris/Peter ... this could be realized with debconf, I think!

Jan
