Hi zxr, AFAIK there is no way to cross compile OpenOffice.org for any platform. The reasons is, that some tools needed to complete the build, are built and run during the build. Maybe someone knows more about this... The porting for sparc has been done, and a sparc version is regularly distributed for example by Debian. Maybe you only need to use a distribution that supports sparc? A recent upstream build is usually on mirrors at openoffice.org/contrib/linuxsparc Building OOo on ancient sparc machines will take some time. You may be able to speed up the build using distcc with some faster machines on your local network, then you only need a gccc/g++ cross compiler on the remote \machines. It is some years since I tried this, but it did work in the past... You can checkout the sources from openoffice.org and build it yourself. If you are sure you really need to build this, have a look at the building guides in www.openoffice.org and http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Main_Page You should expect some problems when buidling, but there is help available. Search the issuezilla and emails carefully - subscribe to the mailing list and email [email protected] when if cannot find a solution. good luck, jim --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
