yes, yes, problems with openoffice - gcc 3.2

[taskara]

gcc forum seems to have dissapeared, so I'll post here.

can't find anyone else with this problem, hence the new post.

successfully built gentoo 1.4 from stage 1 tarball. not a single problem - until openoffice.

this is the error I get:

[0ver.bi+e]

This may or may not help.

I, just yesterday, in fact, emerged openoffice on my 1.2 machine and met that same error. However, in my error message, it was recommended that, for a more stable build, I build gcc-3.0.4 instead. I did and had no problems other than building the blackdown Java VM. Try ebuilding gcc-3.0.4 and see if that works. It should be in the portage tree, but I'm not sure.

i had the same problem, its because of this

[vinz]

hmm, better fix for this:
change the .ebuild line

Can anyone who successfully compiled Openoffice using gcc 3.2 comment on the procedure? The ebuild contains a warning:

I'll give these a try and let you know later how it went.

thanks guys

Just in case:

You are aware of the openoffice-bin ebuild aren't you?
Evern better:
You are aware that the latest binary install form openoffice.com is one verion higher?

Installing the downloaded version:
unpack the tarball somewhere.
run the ./setup script from within an xterm as root and root x-access but mind the following:
run "./setup -net" instead of just "./setup" to have a network install (each user their own setting etc.)

you will then have to run the setup in the program dir of your oo-installed to install for each user.

works very well here and even better than the ebuild

yeah I knew about the openoffice-bin (as per my original post) but didn't know there was a new version out.

I guess this will be portaged soon.

tho I may just grab it and do it manually.. thanks for the tip

I wish they don't forget international support... There are binaries in their website in spanish and in catalan, but of course I don't want to use slow crappy binaries ;).

will a self compiled Openoffice really be much faster?
can anyone convince me?

[vinz]

one reason that im using gentoo is that i dont want precompiled binaries.
beside i doubt that the binary would even run when the rest of the system is built with gcc3.2.
and of course its faster when you use your personal system optimization building openoffice

Here is a link to an athlon optimized build of OpenOffice 1.0.1 using gcc 3.1.1:
http://www.pclinuxonline.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=2726

I have read this build is 50% faster. 50% seems like a bit of an exaggeration, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was noticeably faster, considering how large the program is, and that the binaries are typically built using gcc 3.0.4, which was known for being a bit buggy. I don't have an Atlon processor so I haven't tried the build

Just a quick correction to my above post. The binaries are build using gcc 3.0.4, not gcc 3.1.
