Description Olaf Hering 2005-09-05 09:35:52 UTC 
OOo relies on java.
Unfortunately, java is not portable, not across platforms and not across
different kernel versions.

allow OOo to build only on 2.6.5 kernels for ppc.

Hi Pert, can you look into this and reassign it to the concerned person, Thankyou.
Comment 2 Petr Mladek 2005-09-09 09:28:09 UTC 
Olaf, I could look at it. Is there any good ppc machine where I could test the
build?
Comment 3 Olaf Hering 2005-09-09 09:56:27 UTC 
it will fail early on xiqua (2.6.13) but succeed on tangelo (2.6.5).
Comment 4 Petr Mladek 2005-10-27 11:16:42 UTC 
I have temporary disabled the java for ppc. The most annoying consequence is that the OOo help is not build. I'll try to find  a better solution later.
Comment 5 Olaf Hering 2005-10-27 13:35:10 UTC 
might be related to bug #115562
Comment 6 Matthias Fruehauf 2005-11-29 10:39:53 UTC 
What is the status here?
Comment 7 Petr Mladek 2005-11-29 10:56:55 UTC 
No news. I am still busy to make it compile with gcc-4.1.
Comment 8 Petr Mladek 2006-02-21 14:59:28 UTC 
Kendy worked on it as part of the 64-bit port. The gcj/hij support is still a bit experimental. It should be better than the current state, though. Even the helpcontent should be built. It should fix also the bug #151417.

I just started a test build with gcj/gij enabled on pokeberry.suse.de.
Comment 9 Petr Mladek 2006-03-10 15:57:07 UTC 
Ufff, I have finally built OOo on ppc using gcj. I have enabled it in the package, so it should provide the helpcontent and some other stuff on SL 10.1-beta8.

=> FIXED
