I managed to successfully build openoffice-ximian-1.1.52, but when it was running src_install(), it bombed on line 411 of the ebuild. No error, other than the build error, was given.

I tried the following:
Code:
cd /usr/portage/app-office/openoffice-ximian
ebuild openoffice-ximian-1.1.52.ebuild install


It succesfully recognized that the build was complete, and it allowed me to repeat the installation attempt. It bombed at the same point each time.

The line where it bombs is the command which runs the AUTORESPONSE file against setup. I tried to track the problem down, by putting some echo commands in the build for debugging purposes, but I did not realize that portage would blow away my work directory once the build changed. So, I lost the whole deal. ARG! Must be a switch to prevent that.

I am emerging the -bin version now, although, since my whole system is compiled with nptl from the ground up, I'm wondering if that is wise.

What happens if you try to emerge the ebuild in that directory? I want to try that tomorrow.

I did try to emerge the build. That is what I did first. It compiled without error. But when the ebuild started to install the completed build, it failed with an error. That is why I used the ebuild command above, to verify that the compile was indeed successful.

Since this ebuild is failing on the install function of the ebuild, this is not a function of the openoffice-ximian source itself. I could have run the setup program manually, and had a complete and working openoffice build. In fact, I wish I had done so, since it would have been compiled with my optimizations and nptl. I could have done an administrative setup, got it working in /opt, then done a user-based setup, just like the stock openoffice package works. Maybe I'll try this later.

One further, possibly relavent note:

When I first tried to emerge this build, the digest failed. I used the ebuild digest command to update the digest files. Soooo - if something changed significantly in the newer file, like maybe in the setup program, then perhaps the Autoresponse file needs work.

I will try to compile it tomorrow and keep you updated on it. Normally it takes about 8 hours for my notebook to compile Oo.

This will be the first thing I check if Ximian OOo does not work right:

Code:

 * ****************************************************************
 *  It is important to note that OpenOffice.org is a very fragile
 *  build when it comes to CFLAGS.  A number of flags have already
 *  been filtered out.  If you experience difficulty merging this
 *  package and use agressive CFLAGS, lower the CFLAGS and try to
 *  merge again.
 * ****************************************************************

I did the following and finally got Ximian_OOo to compile successfully.

Code:
cd /usr/portage/app-office/openoffice-ximian
emerge openoffice-ximian-1.1.52.ebuild
