Anyone know when a semi-recent ebuild of openoffice-ximian-bin is going to make it into portage? They all don't want to compile for me :evil:

Hi,
I'm new to Gentoo and loving it. Still in the process of installing all the software I want, but it is so much... the Linux we had to have. At last I have an installation I am (mostly) in control of, and without the bloat.

So, on to my question:
where do I go to get the ebuild for Ximian OOO 1.3.5, or whatever the latest version. Portage gives me 1.1.61, or in the binary version 1.1.53. I don't want the binary anyway, but I really would like to go for the most recent.

Thanks in adv
Paul

Since 1.3.5 is very new and untested software, it is masked for ~x86, so you will need to do: ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge openoffice-ximian to get one of the later versions.
At least that's the quickest way. The gentoo handbook explains package masking in more detail, and what you should do to your config files if you want to use unstable software.

For what it's worth, I've tried a variety of CFLAGS (including defining no CFLAGS in make.conf) and none of them seem to make a difference...

I tried emerging the new 1.3.5 today:

ok good to know

but the ebuild still fails^^

when i go to /var/tmp/portage/openoffice-ximian-1.3.5/work/oo_1.1.2_src/config_office
and execute ./configure with the same settings as in the ebuild, zlib.h is found without problem

/edit, wrong:
zlib is not found with gcc 3.3.4
zlib is _found_ with gcc 3.4.1

/edit #2
DOH, problem was "-fvisibility-inlines-hidden" in CXXFLAGS, as only gcc 3.4 has the visibilty patch

though i dont know why a zlib error occurs when there are wrong CXXFLAGS set..^^

Thanks mc.

I like that "if you want ... unstable software" !!! If I wanted that, I would still be using one of the other distros, or even worse... no, I daren't mention that Unoperating System here.

I will set portage to work on 1.3.5 before I go to bed tonight and see if I have a nice message in the morning. Hopefully it will be better than this morning's greeting... failed installing the jack-audio-connection-kit ... or this afternoon's, when I got home from work, failed on xine ... but they are whole nother stories, and I will get them going yet. There's enough help already on these fora that xine at least shouldn't be a problem.

Anyway, that's all just by the by. I'll be back to say how it went, or how it didn't...

Does anyone have file name saving issues?

I compiled a localized version (PORTBR) of ooo-ximian-1.3.4 and I can't save file names with special characters such as ç, ã or é.

If I specify the following as a filename "Solicitação de Serviço.sxw" in the save dialog, the filename I get is "Solicita%E7%E3o de Servi%E7o.sxw".

The same problems happens if I try to open a filename directly from my file manager (konqueror), if any directory in the tree contains such special characters.

I can't tell if this was introduced by the localized version or the 1.3.x series. I am not absolutely sure, but IIRC, when I had ooo-ximian 1.1.59 (english version) I didn't have this problem.

All my system is in english, apart from OpenOffice, which I prefer in my home language.

Looks like it's a ximian problem, so I won't bother the OOo guys.

I found this bug and it's exactly what we are going thru. I will be watching that bug to look for a solution.

How quick?????

Ok, so it took ten hours to emerge, but then again I am optimizing at level 3 for the AthlonXP, which is always slow. But this is just beautiful, and unbelievably fast. It starts quicker on this machine that MSO does on my WinXP laptop, although the laptop has a much better spec. And it loads a spreadsheet with 2079 rows of complex data in less than 3 seconds.

Thank you all for your help!

does any of you have a i686 or athlon-tbird build (i'm on gcc 3.4 (pure 3.4 system) so there is no easy way for me to get ooo-ximian compiled) ?

10x in advance

It's on its way. As soon as quickpkg is finished, I'll start the upload and go to bed. Hope it helps.
