Re: [gentoo-amd64] openoffice 2 compiles?

2005-11-08 Thread Chris Smart
Thanks everyone, I did build OOo on a p3 system, then package the binary and install it on the amd64 system, but no go. I might experiment a bit more, but for now I agree the easiest thing to do it use openoffice-bin. Cheers, Chris -- gentoo-amd64@gentoo.org mailing list

Greetings, Just curious if anyone has had any success actually /compiling/ openoffice 2.0 (from the portage ebuild) on an amd64 platform? or are people using openoffice-bin or a chroot environment? Cheers, Chris -- gentoo-amd64@gentoo.org mailing list
