Just reporting progress with sparc linux build, i am not asking anything to be done at this stage ...
apt-get build-dep had a problem #218037 so i did proceed to: apt-get source openoffice.org apt-get source openoffice.org-debian-files and fetched the required dependencies. Then it did build without stopping until: ====================== /usr/local/deb_src/openoffice.org-1.1.0/debian/openoffice.org-mimelnk rm -f /usr/local/deb_src/openoffice.org-1.1.0/debian/openoffice.org.*.debhelper dh_installdirs -i dh_install --sourcedir=debian/tmp -i cp: cannot stat ebian/tmp//usr/lib/openoffice/share/config/javarc': No such file or directory dh_install: command returned error code 256 make: *** [debian/stampdir/install-indep] Error 1 ======================= This seems to be packaging problems, I suppose the oo build is finished OK because the installation set exists in instsetoo/unxlngs.pro/01/normal ======================== In order to get started i had to fetch j2sdk1.3 although i already have j2sdk1.4 which i have used for the upstream build. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ dpkg -l j2sdk1.3 Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed |/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Description +++-==============-==============-============================================ ii j2sdk1.3 1.3.1.02b-2 Blackdown Java(TM) 2 SDK, Standard Edition [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ java -version java version "1.4.1" Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build Blackdown-1.4.1-01) Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build Blackdown-1.4.1-01, mixed mode) ============================= Now if i run ./setup from instsetoo it just dies, quietly. The same happens with the pre-built package so I guess this is related to the locale issues, unfortunately i had never heard about locales until running debian openoffice setup so i need investigate that further. But If the openoffice package needs locales i wonder why it is not part of the package, as it is not needed for any other packages that i am running?
