 Incidentally, the full output from genlop -t shows a steady decrease in
 build times as version numbers increase. It looks like optimisation of
 the old OOo code is ongoing.

It was my first build of libreoffice, I used the binary version before.

Just plain old ext2. Laptops tend to have slower IO whereas I'm using
RAID1 on SATA3 hardware. Plus it is a newer CPU.

IO does really slow down the compilation progress a lot. Having PORTAGE_TMPDIR

[gentoo-user] libreoffice-bin-3.4.5.2 broken ?

2012-02-18 Thread Jacques Montier
Hi all,

I upgraded to libreoffice-bin-3.4.5.2 which is stable in portage, but it
does'nt work on intel ie7 amd64.
I get instruction not permitted.
So i masked 3.4.5.2 and downgraded to 3.3.4.

Any idea ?

Thank you,

It seems like it was compiled using CFLAGS unsuitable for an i7.

Why not use the source package? What's the point of having an i7 if you
can't brag about compiling LO in well under an hour? ;-)

Incidentally, the full output from genlop -t shows a steady decrease in
build times as version numbers increase. It looks like optimisation of
the old OOo code is ongoing.

Actually I would ascribe it more to the libreoffice ebuild maintainers
getting rid of insane amounts of bundled crap in the OOo codebase and
instead building against the versions already in @world.

The ebuild maintainer was quite active on Gentoo's planet a few months
back, giving feedback to users and asking for testers. The amount of
progress being made in unbundling OOo's shit was quite impressive (to
put it mildly)
