Java JDK 1.5.0.01 and Open Office 1.1.4

[hazelnusse]

I'm running Gentoo, with kernel 2.6.10-r4. I have JDK 1.5.0.01 and JRE 1.5.0.01 installed and they have been running flawlessly (java web apps work great and everything). I just recently tried to update Open Office from 1.1.3 to 1.1.4 and got the following error:

Code: Select all

ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge --verbose openoffice

Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

'enum' is now a key word? Makes sense I guess.....

If you're feeling brave, you can edit the specified file and replace the offending instances of 'enum' with something else. This will work assuming that these are the only offending instances of 'enum'. Considering the size of OpenOffice, I don't think that's likely. If you do this, don't forget to change all instances of 'enum', not just the ones that are stopping the compilation.

The easiest solution is to just download a copy of JDK 1.4.2 and tell OpenOffice to use it. There are no problems in keeping two different versions of Java on the same box.

FYI, a JDK version of Java contains, by default, a JRE. A JRE is just the executables and libraries needed to run Java stuff. A JDK, in addition, contains the files needed to compile Java stuff.

Opps, finished my response too soon.... I forgot that you were emerging open office, not running it......

If you decide to go down the JDK 1.4.2 route, you can install the particular version using emerge:

Code: Select all

# emerge -a =sun-jdk-1.4.2.06

And then use java-config to switch the active version of Java:

Code: Select all

List available versions of Java
# java-config -L  

Change the current version
# java-config -S "JDK Version"

Then emerge OO, and switch backk to whatever version of Java you want.

Using JDK 1.5, you need to get '-source 1.4' into the javac arguments, to compile pre-Java5 code.

Either an envar, or the equivalent of 'CFLAGS' ('JFLAGS'?) maybe? This is really an issue for the project to specify rather than a global setting though.

I'm currently building my first (full) gentoo system, and Sun JDK 1.5 will be in there eventually.

[bakreule]

Yeah, you're idea is much simpler. And I agree that this should be a fix for the ebuild and/or project.... In fact, there's already a bug for this:
